Hyperlink changes on download of site

I am brand new to FP so be gentle... I've brought my web page down to my harddrive to edit. When I first go to open it FP asks if it can add something to the site and I say yes. FP then runs a report. In this report I get notice that 300 or so internal links are broken. The reason they are broken is FP has added a directory level ie:
frames/background.css is link and it's in page frames/about_caregiving... The problem is it's not in "frames" it's just in about_caregiving. The Frames/ was added by FP. Any suggestions?

Do you have a folder called frames in your web? If the CSS file is an
external link on your page then the reports may so it as broken. As long as
it's working you shouldn't worry about it. What operating system are you
using? If you're using Windows XP Pro or Window 2000 you can open your
"live" web in FrontPage and choose File, Publish Web and publish it to
http://localhost/webname/ which is your local server. Then you can open it
from that location to work on it.
