Hi,

I have a 2.6Ghz machine with 512Mb DDR ram, and the above gfx card.

I frequently go to sites (with my broadband connection) where some of the
smaller images don't download - until I hit Show Picture.

Is there a way to remedy this without buying a card with more ram?

Thanks,

Neil
 
That doesn't sound like a problem with your video card, it sounds like a
browser configuration issue.

Try these

Tools|Internet options|Advanced tab|Restore Defaults|Apply|OK

Tools|Internet options|General tab|Temp Internet files|Settings|Set to
300MB|Press OK
 
I have all the latest updates for IE6 running on XP Pro, and all other
drivers, service packs etc..

I have access to a 'slower' machine and this doesn't happen - strange.

Funny you should say that. Just have. I'm not sure it's made any
difference though.

It has nothing to do with the video card itself or amount of memory.
The odds are very low that it's even the driver.

You need determine what's significant about this non-displayed images,
how they differ beyond "smaller". Perhaps they're GIF and you
disabled animated images in your browser config? Perhaps you have a
HOSTS file configured to block some 'sites? Or some other firewall
configuration? Look at the HTML and note the difference between those
missing images and the images that appear.

Everything is configured to display.

I have a custom hosts file, but the images are not affected by that. As
mentioned earlier, if I hit Show Picture, they do just that as if nothing
was wrong.

Or a connection issue. 'Broadband' isn't always broadband.

I would suspect the browser. Don't know the fix though, maybe
reinstall it, repair it from Add/Remove Programs, or searching
for/removing any BHOs (browser helper objects). If you're unfamiliar
with BHOs a Google search will find details for detection programs or
manual removal.

Open IE - go to 'tools' then 'internet options' click the advanced tab,
scroll down to the 'multimedia' section and make sure the 'show picture'
checkbox is ticked
