Change the DPI setting from Large to Normal and see if that helps.

You might also try this fix. Although it worked for a few others, it may not
work for you, but, it may be worth a try. But, be sure to back up your
Registry 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 or type manager.

unchecked to display pictures all the time.

Can't View Some Graphics on IE/AOL
If you have Norton Personal Firewall or some other ad-blocking software or
popup stoppers installed, try disabling this type of software temporarily to
see whether this could be the problem. Many of these programs block
Javascript, which is often used to pop up login windows and create rollover
graphics. Norton Security, for example, is known to block any image that
originates from another server (advertisement images usually do), and I'm
guessing it also blocks at least some Javascript.
Set the following -
Under Security
Java Medium
Display mixed content-prompt is checked
Under Scripting
Scripting of Java applets
Is set to Enable
Privacy settings are medium
Check if your encoding setting in IE. To do this, click on View / Encoding,
and make sure Western European is selected.
For AOL problems:
1) AOL --> Settings --> Preferences --> Internet Properties (WWW)
2) AOL Users with different versions:
* AOL 5.0 and below:
AOL Internet Properties --> Web Graphics --> Used Compressed Graphics
Be sure to Uncheck (which means NO check/mark).
* AOL 6.0:
AOL Internet Properties --> Web Graphics
Be sure to choose never compress graphics.
3) Click General tab (at top left-side corner of AOL Internet Properties).
4) Click Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files and then press OK
button to delete all items in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
5) Click Clear History under History and then press OK/Yes button to delete
all items in your History folder.
6) Press OK button (at the bottom) to save changes and close your AOL
browser.
7) Restart your computer and then get back to AOL.
More info about the problem can be obtained at

If all the above fails, Repair your IE, SHUT DOWN your machine, don't just
restart, then restart your machine.

How to Activate Scaling
Internet Explorer 6 and later automatically adjusts the scale on higher
resolution systems when the DPI setting is higher than 96 DPI and the
"UseHR" registry value is added to the registry. These are usually done by
the manufacturers of higher resolution systems.
Set the DPI
These are the steps for changing the DPI setting on your system.
Right-click the Windows desktop to display the context menu.
Click Properties on the context menu to display the Display Properties
dialog.
Click the Settings tab on the Display Properties dialog to display the
Settings tab.
Click the Advanced button on the Settings tab to display the monitor
properties dialog.
Select a DPI setting in the Display frame of the monitor properties dialog
to change the DPI setting.
Restart your system to allow the changes to take effect.
Run REGEDIT to add the UseHR Registry Entry
The UseHR value is added to the Main key under "Internet Explorer" as
follows:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
Main
UseHR= dword:00000001

If the solution from Dell support works for you, don't bother with the
registry fix from msdn.
If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.
Hope this helps
