Nice web page, by the way. I like the flash display you've got going.

It could be an OpenGL or video driver problem on your machine. Check
your display driver is set to be running OpenGL and try adjusting the
settings to see if that might help.

I had a problem of the buttons becoming overlaid upon one another
which was fixed by updating the OpenGL settings.

Trust this helps,
