Nice, although I got bored waiting for it to fully load. Over 5 mins for me on 56k to get about 2/3 of the site loaded. I'd make the text on your menu links too, instead of those small dots, just to make it easier.
<edit> No wonder, there's an mp3 downloading</edit>

I know the mp3 takes a long time(well not 4 me i have cable)
but i know that i have to think about all the low bandwidth users
but i still like having the mp3 better than the sorry *** midi.

I tried to get into your site (high bandwidth) and it caused IE to close every time. Its not my computer because it only happens on your site... The low bandwith site works... I dont know why you use popups for every link though... I think thats a bit annoying... just being honest

Which internet explorer?
I use 6.0 works fine it could be because the page has an mp3 embeded in it maybe your browser has a problem with that sorry!
The reason for the pop ups is because it is better(to me!) to be able to close a window to get back to the main page rather than hitting the back button or adding a link. Thus everything is located somewhat in one location.

I'm using IE 6.0 on windows 2000

That is odd that it does not work in your IE but fine in mine.
Could it possibly be a instalation error? What OS did u say u
had XP?

3 things:
1) The pop-ups gotta go, make them all load in the original window.
2)On your menu system on the high bandwidth version, whatever to the left of Resident Evil 2 is cut off, i can see part of the one to the immediete left but can't see what it says.
3)As cool as music may seem, it's a dead fad. If I want to listen to music, I'll turn on the radio or Winamp. There are very few practical uses for music playing in the background. At the very least make it so you can turn it off if you don't want it.
I'm using IE6 on Win2k at 1152x768.

All good points!!
The music well it makes me happy i agree and it will probably be removed. As far as the pop ups i thinkthat it would be uglyer with iframes but i will consider and tinker around with it and the menu
i designed it in IE 6.0 1024x768! How could i fix it so it works with diferent resolutions?

Better! The site doesnt crash my browser anymore. I would suggest making the font a little smaller in the iframe though... just a suggestion. Have you thought about making the iframe background transparent and just leave the tables with a border color?

And as far as the font text due u mean in dummy opening page or all of them?

Tips on transparency in iframes (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/inlinefloatingframes.asp)
Click in the link "Using Transparency with Inline Floating Frames" in the main frame of the link above.
As far as the text its not a big deal. I just think the text on all of the iframes stands out too much from the rest of the page.

The text size also depends some times on the sizes state on the browser tool bar but ill mess around with it and thanks 4 speedy reply on transparency subject!

<BODY STYLE="background-color:transparent"> is the body tag of the iframe page
<IFRAME NAME="Frame1" SRC="frame.htm" ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true"> is obviously on the main page that calls the iframe
It works for me!

hairynugs6382, I've merged you latest thread with your original site review thread as the review is for the same site (though it has undergone some dramatic changes). Good luck ;) .
I like that Matrix thing. Did you wrote it yourself?
If so, do you mind if I copy it?
