I don't offer support for website design or management issues, but at a guess I would say that if any of your web site files contain non-standard characters (a-z A-Z and 0-9 are standard) then you should remove those characters from the names and replace them with standard ones instead. For further information, or a better explanation, you should contact your web hosting provider.

Thanks JD, (like I said I'm new at this but learning fast, so bare with me so I don;t sound like a nim-rod) I changed the special characters but when I pull my web page up i get the following message;
Directory has no index file.
Browsing this site or directory without an index file is prohibited.
If you are the site's webmaster, you can remedy this problem by creating a default HTML page with one of the following names:
* index.html
* index.htm
* default.htm
* Default.htm
* home.html
* Home.chtml
NOTE: Filenames are case sensitive, i.e., Home.html is not the same as home.html

So that's what you need to do. Put an index file in every directory and subdirectory. Something like this will do:
<html><body>Directory listing unavailable.</body></html>
Store in a file called index.html and copy it to every (sub)directory. Without an index file people browsing to a directory will get a listing of files which possibly tells them more than they should know. Not all cases are a security risk, but anyway if your webmaster imposes this requirement, that's what you have to do.
With a bit of experience you will learn how to put a redirection in the file so that it loads some other page like your home page.
