Once again thanks to all above. All is now sorted and it would have taken me goodness how long without your advice. Excellent forum I'll keep in touch with.

Cheers
Paul

You still have a couple of file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/... on there, and as The Webmistress says, don't have spaces in image or file names. Also make sure all the filenames are the same case, often FTP programs can convert to lower case on upload (some even have this option to force lowercase), but if your code is upper case this can cause problems in some browsers as page.html is different to Page.html

Yeah! thanks for comments but my site seems to work OK on any other computer, its only on my own computer that I have this problem.

Well it is really as for anyone else looking at your site they wont have the page on their C drive and so wont find the page at all. You need to redo all the internal links on your site so that they link just to the page name.

Another point is don't have spaces in your file names, use - instead, eg. your-next-page.html

Hi all and thanks for these quick responses.
I am using a host server and all of you are right, the address is the full path from the
C drive to the file which I will try to modify as Busy suggests. It isn't a terribly serious problem as such, but to be sure I'm reading my latest uploads I have to delete local
folder as then restore it when I have finished which is a bit of a pain.
Site was made with Netscape Composer and URL is http://www.nature-real.co.uk

Thanks a lot, Great forum

Paul.

Hi and welcome to the forums! :wave:

What exactly are you seeing here? Is it that you're uploading and then when you're surfing the site it reads from the HDD?

Busy might be right, but it might just be that your browser has cached some files from your site locally and is re-reading them. Also your browser will always save the files it downloads onto your local HDD, so this isn't necessarily anything unusual.

Best thing is to do what Busy has suggested, post the URL and we can have a look.

My guess is you've used an editor like front page or dreamweaver which have created links like C:/windows/docs and stuff/web folder/filename.html, if so and the files are all in the same folder (when uploaded), remove the link to C drive and just have the file name, if the file is in another folder you can use the folder name or ./ (for up one) or ../

If this is wrong showing us your URL (web page link) can usually find the problem pretty quick

more details like are you using your own server or a host? Did you check if you link addresses are completely clean of drive locations etc that might make it search on your HDD? Sometimes a doubleclick on a link is a shortcut for download on computer...
