I have checked preferences (options), re-
downloaded/installed 6 and all patches I can find, but no
difference.

Example is MS's actual home page - I made a screenshot and
placed it as a jpeg image at the following URL:

http://www.standardtech.biz/IE_ERRIMG_CAP001_040202A.jpg

If you go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/

using your own browser, you'll see how it is supposed to
look. The images just won't display most times in my
version of IE 6.0.

This URL points to my screen capture of the "about IE"
page, so you can see what exact version I have:

http://www.standardtech.biz/IE_ERRIMG_CAP001_040202A.jpg

Any idea why this happens, and what to do about it?

Thanks,

WT Young
 
I have a similar problem. most of the pictures on msn.com
will download and display, but at yahoo's home page almost
none of the pictures will display. I think my problem is
a bit different, because not only do the images fail to be
displayed, they fail to be downloaded into my temporary
internet folder. I believe this applies only to certain
images, images that are used as hyperlinks. When your
images don't display, do you know whether or not they are
successfully downloaded.
 
Many possibilities...
Try the quick, easy fix first. Clear the IE cache from IE> Tools> Internet
Options> General> Delete files and Delete offline content. Reset the TIF
folder size to about 50MB (Settings button) and clear it occasionally.

Additional information from Mike Burgess:

Are you using a Firewall or "filtering software"?

Several of these are known to cause problems:
1) Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?]
Reset "Ad Blocking" and "Cookie Control" to "medium"
"Mobile Code Control" = Off

2) Symantec (ISS\NIS)[Enable Browser Privacy - enabled]
Active Content - "Allow All Script To Execute"
Problem: some sites cannot detect the 128 bit encryption
Solution: Completely remove and reinstall NIS.

3) Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer"
or contains entries that are blocking access to the desired site.

4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
site.

5) Cookie blocking software that are blocking "required" Cookies.

6) Pop-up blockers that are stripping header\url info.

7) WebWasher Standard Filter/URL Filter

8) Make sure the following entry is not corrupt:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"User Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32)"

Note: "Win32" = Windows 98\ME
Other versions = (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0;)

To check your "User Agent":
Paste the below into the Address Bar and view the output:

javascript:navigator.userAgent

[Example WinME output]
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)
