Hi,

I've been having problems with my IE lately, for some reason it doesn't want
to show up most if not all the pictures in any webpage i go to. I tried
clearing my cache, but no, that did not fix it.

I was wondering if this is any kind of virus in my compy or simply a bug
that can be fixed with a patch. Can any of you please tell me what to do?

Thanks!
 
Daniel,

I have to agree I have went and did the same things and still no go. I take
it down on the left bottom portion of browser you get message stating so many
downloads left? Do you also find that the more pics on the page the more
likely not to get complete download and while waiting slows the system down
and pic never do download. I think that I started to get the problem either
when I installed xp service pack 2 or the patch for the jpeg stuff, is this
about when it happen to you also?

Nope, I am not under winXP I am under Win2000. I can't remember exactly when
this started to happing, but it's very annoying.

And you're right, the more pics on the web page the more red x's i get. Is
there a way to fix this??

Most of the contents of this page are from Don Varnau and Mike Burgess

There are many possible causes and solutions.
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_referrer"
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 registry 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)
