It is well known that there are many web-pages out there that are not
designed to be compatible with any browser. When Arachne fails to display
a web-page "correctly", (i.e. as it was designed to be seen, not as it
acually is seen) over-printing is a common occurrence. Web-masters
often make changes for the worse. A web-page that was displayed just fine
yesterday might look positively awful today, even if accessed with the same
version of Arachne. A work-around for the over-printing problem may often
be found by turning frames off. In a properly-designed web-page, Arachne
will display perfectly a page having many frames.
Since we have not yet seen similar complaints being posted by anyone else,
I would suggest that the problem might be related to some changes that
might have been made to the web pages being accessed by our hero whose
email address is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
I also hope there is nothing wrong with his PC.
