When I click on the links(buttons) on my web site, they are very slow to
respone. I also have ai also have a sound file that downloads and runs when
the pointer is placed over the geese picture. It seems as if the links won't
work till the wav file is downloaded. Do you think that this is the problem?
How can I shortern the file if this is the problem? Can I use another sound
file form that would make it shorter. If this isn't the problem...what is?

you've answered your own question
you're not preloading your images or sound file.

If there were preloaded (in computer memory) they'd operate a lot faster.....but
from what you describe, when you mouse-over, the script then takes the action of
swapping the picture (or playing the sound) right there and then.

sure, smaller files are one answer, but you should look for a pre-load javascript
that preloads the images etc first, while the page is loading in your browser.
