I have experienced that kind of problem when using FrontPage. I have to click all over the place to get the view to show.

What I do is whenever I am using FP is unload windowblinds.

Technology is not perfect especially dealing with so many different variables. What works for one person might not work for another because of equipment.

Certain programs don't play nice with windowblinds and you need to put them into your exclude list.
That will fix the problem. Some programs just don't allow skinning, such as all Norton programs.

Amen to that Jam.

Symantec's software just doesn't like being skinned.

The exclusion list would be a much better idea than unloading wb.
