I worked on two PCs yesterday that both had the problem
of red x's on certain websites, namely www.springdale.com
and bankofamerica.com. Both machines have Windows 98 2nd
ed. with all the latest updates and service packs. Both
are running IE 6 with SP1. When I right clicked on the
page and then clicked on Encoding, Western European (ISO)
is selected. When I clicked on Western European
(Windows), the pictures appeared, but if I close the page
and open it again, it reverts back to ISO. What causes
this and how can I get it to default to Windows?

Thanks,
Cathy

You can't. When I trace the HTTP packets I see this header record:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
