Alan,

The Hover Buttons created by FrontPage use Java. In order for them to work,
the visitor's computer must have a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed.
Due to numerous reasons (too numerous to detail here) many/most users of
Windows XP do _not_ have a JVM on their computer.

Your best bet is to use JavaScript rollovers (Java and JavaScript are two
very different things, they only share a name.). There are plenty of free
JavaScripts and JavaScript generators online to help you. Check out these
sites to get started:
www.dynamicdrive.com
http://javascript.internet.com/generators/preload-images.html

The second one has a generator that will make the code for you. This is a
great starting point.

Good luck!
