It looks as if they're part of IMG_1.JPG, check your VSD Files folder and delete it from there. You may need to re-insert your background image from its original file location.

Sorry,Don't understand it.
Just looked at Files img_1 in the folder and there are no coloured boxes on the image There are no coloured boxes in VSD, neither on top or behind other elements, yet if I save and upload they are there.
I really need to understand why I would delete img_1 when there are no coloured boxes on the image.

This is what IMG_1 looks like on your site (this is in the server files):

If it's no longer in your VSD Files folder, then go to your hosting control panel and have a look – delete any images that shouldn't be there.
I would use the original image file for the background – not one created by VSD (those are the numbered .JPGs, like IMG_1). If you created the background in VSD rather than a graphics program, try deleting it from that page and then re-do it, don't copy it from another page.

Ok thanks..... nearly getting there I think, but I think it will end up with me destroying the page ( out of sheer frustration)
This is where I am at the moment. I had 3 coloured boxes made by VSD sat on the grey image (made with VSD) and 3 pen animations on the top. I have now used Paintshop pro and made the coloured boxes as 1 image and at the moment sat on the grey image and the 3 pen animations are behind the colored boxes.
Everything is as I expect but now I obviously want the coloured box moved back or the pen animations brought forward. It doesn't do it right if I use Object /arrange menus.
Am I supposed to send the coloured box backward or select the pen animations and bring them forward or something else. I have tried both and I get problems each time.

UPDATE:
Weird.... If I send the coloured boxes backward only one of the 3 images underneath show. When I select the 3 images underneath the coloured boxes and bring to the front only 1 of the 3 images appear............... had yet another go and it seems to be working now so in 2 mins I will have a go at uploading and hope for the best.
I thought you wanted to get rid of the colored boxes.... Now you want them there?
Could you give your animations a background color?
I hope it works out... fingers crossed

Confusing isn't it... I wanted the boxes. After I had put the boxes there, when I uploaded I could see a duplicate set of boxes approx 10px up and to the left so that's why I wanted to delete them and start again but as you know from previous posts I couldn't seem to get rid of them to be able to start again of which I have now done but instead of making 3 coloured boxes with VSD shapes I have done 1 image of them in other software.
If I had known what I was going to do with the animations yes, I could have given them a background colour but I wanted them transparent when I made them to go on any colour background. It doesn't work too well trying to put a background colour onto the animation after it has been made.
Thanks for your help.
The thing is I don't make serious webpages I just like playing around with VSD tweaking and medling............ big mistake for me, coz that's when it all goes wrong

I didn't realize it was an issue with duplicate items, now I get it....way too late. 
Glad you got it figured out.
