   I took another look, this time with my good eye, the bad page's source code shows:

The bad page's source code:
<p align="center"><img src="Construction\Frontend\preamp.gif"
width="363" height="210"> </p>

The good page's source code:
         <td><img src="Construction/Frontend/noise3.gif"
         width="244" height="202"></td>
         <td><img src="Construction/Frontend/load4.gif"
         width="294" height="202"></td>

   The problems is the M$ kind of program put "back slashes" instead of slashes
into the "bad" document. Some browsers convert backslashes to slashes (in URLs)
some don't.
