Sorry, still getting the problem.

The error specifically is:

NETSCAPE caused an invalid page fault in module AWT3240.DLL at 0137:6012a7a9.

The browser bombs right after the mailbox appears.

Looking at it with IE, I am going to guess that the Java is allowing the boxes
at the left (Infrared Gallery, B&W Gallery, etc.) to be displayed without the
cursor changing form when it passes over them.  Although IE will allow the
display to change color as you pass over each one, this may not work with
Netscape (perhaps someone with a working Netscape browser can check this).

Although this is a nice effect, it can be confusing if the applet does not work,
as these boxes may not be recognized as links.

I clicked on the image of the woman and was taken to a page that displayed what
looked like an egret, with the woman being a choice on the left.  I would
recommend either having the woman's picture displayed, or change the link image
to the egret.

There's another thing you might want to look at.  Apparently, you are displaying
Chinese characters on your page.  Netscape hasn't a clue what to do with these,
so it just displays little boxes.  IE suggests downloading a plug-in to deal
with them - not doing do causes a little confusion.  I would suggest either
removing them or making them small GIFs.

The images I saw I did like.  I would like to see them a little larger, but the
resolution on my monitor is a bit finer than most people use.  It appears that
you have a very rich image site, so feel proud to display it.

Cheers -
