Many thanks. John and Michael. Removing ASprites files did not help but upgrading
SpriteExtend from 0.61 (in the 3.5 ROM) to 0.99 has fixed the problem.
I have been aware that 3.5 is no longer supported but I must say I have been
pleasantly surprised at how well NetSurf has run. Ever since discovering
NetSurf I have only had to update two or three modules.
Alan in N.Z.
