      It’s likely a css issue. Are the images themselves flashing? If so, look at the commented out lines at the bottom of the .htaccess file and enable them.

        i have uncommented them, but it seems to make no difference.

        not sure what it could be in the css.

        many thanks,
        Gareht

              Can you give us a link? It’s hard to guess what could be the problem when we can’t really picture what’s going on.

                  Ok, I’m afraid I’m not going to be much help. I’m running IE from a VirtualPC on a memory-impaired Mac, so it’s loading so slowly that all the images are taking a while to download and display, as they do for any site I view; so I don’t see anything remarkable.

                    Ah, now I see what you mean... the image backgrounds for the main menu links are taking time to upload every time you move the mouse over them. That should be solved by uncommenting the lines at the bottom of the .htaccess file.
                    # The following directives stop screen flicker in IE on CSS rollovers. If
                    # needed, un-comment the following rules. When they're in place, you may have
                    # to do a force-refresh in order to see changes in your designs.
                    
                    #ExpiresActive On

                      not on my pc! what I meant was when you go to a page before the site loads the new page, there is a full page white flash, for about a second.

                      i have uncommented those lines.

                      many thanks,
