IE cannot view any png file

[Guest]

Hello,

Recently My internet explorer 6.0 cannot show any png file, all the png
files in any website or local drive will show a little red x. I tried all
the methods I can find, but no one can work. I can use software like Paint
to show the png file in my computer.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks.

BTW, I find a thread in newgroup which also discuss this problem, but no one
give a solution.

Thank you.
But it doesn't work.
I followed the instruction of that page.

I find all the png files have been downloaded in the temporary Internet Files
but ie still cannot display them.

For example, I visit www.winedt.com, the logo image cannot be displayed.
I right click the red x and I see

Protocol: HyperText Transfer Protocol
Type: Not Available

I guess I should add the correct type for png file to registry.

BTW, My HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.png is correct.

Hi,
Try running this command from Start> Run

regsvr32 pngfilt.dll

Try re-registering the .dll? Run... (e.g. press Win-R and enter

regsvr32 pngfilt.dll


BTW this is a common problem but I suppose it helps to know what to search for:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group...95e6e66b12c?q=pngfilt&rnum=8#b5bd995e6e66b12c


OTOH it really isn't necessary to know that in advance if you use the simplest of search filters:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group...crosoft.*.ie6.browser&rnum=2#f46763878e8f679b

(Google Groups search for
png MVP OR MSFT group:microsoft.*.ie6.browser
)
