I am a webmaster with several FrontPage websites. I
recently had to replace my hard-drive and found my recent
backup files were also corrupted. So I relied on the
online versions of the websites for reloading on to my
computer. It was no problem with 4 of the sites on 4
different servers. The fifth seemed to download okay -
although it kept asking for my password as it did - but
when I open any of the pages the only thing that shows is
the background color and the top and bottom shared border.

What's more mysterious is if I right click on a pages
file name in the folder listing and select "Preview in
browser" I see the page - the images are broken and the
shared border is duplicated but the rest of the page is
essentially intact. Each page shows the appropriate number
of kilobytes for its size... But there is not html code
for anything but the background and the shared border....

So why can I not see it in the normal mode? I have been at
this for many years and never run across the problem
before....... the server says nothing has changed at his
end.......he's no help.
I sure hope someone out there has some clue as to what to
do... I have work I must get done on this site and am at a
loss where to turn.
thanks
