hI!
my website looks ok with pc's (at least with my pc it does) but when I checked it out in my older sisters macintosh computer it looks all messed up! the frames kinda cramp up on each other. whats a fool proof way of positioning your frames so that it looks the way you want it to look? if I remember right, my tag is something like
< frameset rows="*,52%,*">
or something like that.
anyway, i would like it very much if you could check out my site and see if it turns out ok. its http://carminay.reallyrules.com

the way things are displayed has very little to do with the OS or hardware. it's just a matter of what browser it is (thats why the OS has some, although very little, effect on it, since there are different browsers for different operating systems). what browser and version are you using to view the page? older versions don't support frames at all, and some have varying levels of support for them.

Make sure all your content shows up right, too. It could be a problem with that. Also, I just found this little thing... I think it may effect the page
<frameset rows="150px,52%,*" border=0 frameborder=0 framespacing=0 marginheight="0">
<frame src="http://carminay.reallyrules.com/header.html" name="header" noresize scrolling=no marginheight="0">
<frame src="http://carminay.reallyrules.com/blog.html" name="middle" noresize scrolling=no marginheight="0">
<frame src="http://carminay.reallyrules.com/linksun2.html"" name"links" noresize scrolling=no marginheight="0">
</frameset>
all of the bold text up there frameset row values, they need to be the same units... such as 150px,52px,* or like 80%,20%

But remember, you still have to play around with the values cause % and px aren't the same... also, if you're using percentages, don't use a *
