Hi Kim
Sorry the suggestions did not work for you. But, there are various things
that can cause this type of problem, and knowing that you had the problem
prior to installing the SP2 does help. Are you using any 3rd party popup or
ad blockers, such as Yahoo or Google toolbars, or Yahoo Companion? Also, do
you have SpywareBlaster or another program that might be blocking your Flash
or Multimedia or such images?
I know you don't want to go to the Internet without the firewall, and you
shouldn't, but, try uninstalling your Norton and try the site again. Then
you will know for sure if it is related to Norton or not. It has been known
to cause some problems with viewing some types of sites.
You might also try this fix. Although it worked for a few others, it may not
work for you, but, may be worth a try. But, be sure to back up this key
before you try this:
Open Regedit
Open \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\
Delete the keys "http", "https", and "ftp"
Leave the 'mk' key
The mk key is created by Windows and the others may be created by some other
dnld manager.
If still no joy, try the following information and see if it might help:
