Tahir, attached a gif of my IFRAMEs in action. I note you say you are using Version 6.1 of Netscape. You do realise this is a BETA and may have bugs.

Tahir,
I installed Netscape 6.01 this morning and it supports IFRAMEs.

Visit Royal Porthcawl Golf Club to see an example of IFRAMEs working.

I just recently added IFRAMEs to my site but forgot all about Netscape in my hurry to get it published. Thanks for pointing this out. If I come across an answer other than checking for browser type and linking direct to the page for Netscape, I’ll let you know.

How is it you guys seem to know what we want before we know. This include frame is precisely what I wanted to keep me from having to update my site every day for a about a month.

See http://golf-in-wales.com/south/royalporthcawl/entries.htm for the results

Accessibility Options in Control Panel, allows you to set shortcuts and timeouts for some of the SHIFT, CAPS LOCK, NUMLOCK, CTL keys. You may have turned on some of these features without understaning their implications.

Unlike Mark here, I have found W2K to be OK with most modern games. I was having so much trouble with Windows ME turning to treacle, I upgraded. Windows 2K took all my network settings, and most other drivers, the only exceptions being my Sparkle Nvidia Card and my ISDN modem. I got those from the web. I dont have either service pack installed and things are running fine.

BTW, my sons games (if you are interested) include Quake III and mods, Fifa 2001 and mods, Actua Golf, Grand Prix 3 plus others, a fairly good mix I think you’ll agree.

Further investigation shows an entry in the IE options seems to be probably what you are looking for.

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Multimedia>Enable Image Toolbar

I believe This appeared with Internet Explorer 6 that is downloadable from Microsoft or comes with Windows XP. Can’t help you with its removal I’m afraid except maybe to go back to IE5.5.

I know you guys are the Bees Knees in this technical jungle, but surely the answer is in the question. When I am trying to “decide whats best for the users”, I ask the Users first. Engineers and Developers can make bad choices for Users.

C:Winntexplorer.exe /n,/e,n:dir1dir2dir3

Use this sort of command line to an explorer link. Choose dir3 to be a directory at the bottom of the tree you want expanded.

Ha ha… Touch

I dont know about the rest of the people who replied in this thread, but my time is precious and I read the information in this and other threads in emails Woody kindly send, because its quick and easy. I am not too thrilled when 14 out of the 15 entries in one mail are about idle chatter, and 2 of those entries from the moderator. There are millions of places to chat, so come on everyone, use the forum for its intended purpose, please.

A great utility that I have used (though not free) when upgrading disks is Norton Ghost. It will allow you to move the complete contents of one drive onto another, as I did when I went from a 10 to a 20Gig disk. You can copy multiple partitions, changing their relative sizes if you want and it works for all Windows operating systems and probably some others as well. It does many other things as well but I just use it for copying to larger disks.

THis solution deals with a “Windows Protection Error” BSOD. If you connect to the Windows Update page on the Web you will come across a patch to ME called Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package. It seems windows is trying to close down before the disk has written its cache away. I dont think the patch works in every case, since my IGig PIII + UDMA 66 drive machine still reports the BSOD on 4 out of 5 cases even though Ive installed the patch.
