Re: Disappearing Images in Netscape 4.7 - PART II

I would bet on either system resources (as mentioned earlier) or video card 
drivers. You might try to get your client to try changing to the generic 
VGA drivers to see if the problem goes away or even just resolution or 
color depth on the existing drivers.
Best,

PS-I also didn't have any problems on the site with NN 4.7.
