[Boatanchors] Website size problem

[Jim Wilhite]

This can be a problem that is not related to the web site.  I use IE 6 and 
when I start to download a graphic like you reference, it is full size then 
when it finishes it reduce  in size to unreadable.

When I move the mouse over the picture, two boxes appear, one at the top 
left with symbols to print, save and such, the other at the bottom right 
that is square with arrows pointing out from all corners.  By moving the 
mouse to that box and clicking, the graphic returns to the normal size for 
viewing.
