Links trouble in 800x600

Sometimes, maybe 3 out of 10 people with a 800x600 resolution, have problems to
activate the links at
[L=Solosub]http://www.solosub.org[/L] as my client finally was able to prove
to me. On mouseover, the "over state" is only partial visible or doesn't show
at all and the link stays dead. This is quite puzzling, because on both my
systems (800x600 & 1028x768) the links work fine. Also, no one seems to have a
problem at 1028x768.

thank you

I toyed with the screen res problem for a long time, and the answer I
finally came up with is...

Bollocks to the people who insist on using the 800x600 resolution, they must
be luddites or something, maybe they just don't even know how to change the
res of their display when they get their new pc or something.

This sort of design is meant for people who can embrace the future.

just look at the top designers, like 2advanced or fantasyinterfaces.com,
they all design for 1024x768, they embrace the future.

Design for yourself and bollocks to convention, if they don't want to adapt
they should stay away from computers and take up knitting or something.

The future is the new messiah. Believe in the future don't hang on to what
used to be. We all got to move in a forwards direction. Life is a one way
ticket, there aint no going backwards. Don't let the luddites take you back
there.

First off...don't listen to Jingo---:) if you rely on this business to feed
your family then you design for 800x600 if that is what the client wants.
Anyway...it worked fine for me...If the problem persists I'd take that part
off the flash and make it simple HTML rollovers in a table below the table
that holds your flash. since it really doesn't need to be flash anyway.
Sometime that is some weird code bug that no matter what you try does not
show itself. Had a few myself.

Thank you for your help, I have re-structured the site and it seems to work fine now.
