Many duplicate images are broken

When I visit pages that have many duplicate copies of the same image (often
spacer.gif or whatever), it's common to have the image marked as "broken",
even though I can right-click and choose "Show Picture" and it will fix itself
just fine. The images are more likely to break if I reload a page that's
already loaded fully.

This has happened for as long as I can remember on lots of machines and I'm
finally starting to get tired of it.
 
Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.
If still no joy then have a look at this page for other issues.

Please see my post on 12/08/03 titled "Finally a REAL fix for IE not
loading small GIF images!!!" and see if that helps you. None of the MVP
or MS supplied "solutions" did a thing to fix the problem for me, till I
found this answer. Let us know if it works for you.
