Are you using the proper DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

Make sure that line I posted is at the top of the html file you are using (replace any existing DOCTYPE line that might be in there)

Also, I feel it's my duty to advise you against framesets.  If you are going to be using this site as a public facing website, then you do not want to use framesets.  There are a number of reasons... mainly involving accessibility and search engines.

Also, if you have never used frames before, I suggest you start with some tutorials.  Google it:

Try this for starters:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>My Home Page</title>
</head>

<frameset rows="80,*" cols="80,*" frameborder="no" border="0" framespacing="0">
    <frame src="file:///E|/Sites/Net Effect/neteffectservices.com/_Kentico_SourceCode/CMS/UntitledFrame-4" name="leftFrame" scrolling="No" noresize="noresize" id="leftFrame" title="leftFrame" />
    <frame src="file:///E|/Sites/Net Effect/neteffectservices.com/_Kentico_SourceCode/CMS/UntitledFrame-2" name="mainFrame" id="mainFrame" title="mainFrame" />
    <frame src="file:///E|/Sites/Net Effect/neteffectservices.com/_Kentico_SourceCode/CMS/UntitledFrame-3" name="leftFrame" scrolling="No" noresize="noresize" id="leftFrame" title="leftFrame" />
    <frame src="file:///E|/Sites/Net Effect/neteffectservices.com/_Kentico_SourceCode/CMS/Untitled-1" name="mainFrame" id="mainFrame" title="mainFrame" />
</frameset>
