I just reinstalled WinXP Pro and did all of he updates.
When I open up Internet Explore and go to Ebay for
example, The page is all muddled up and there are a bucnh
of empty picture boxes all over the page. This has never
happened before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..Ron L
 
Thanks for respondning but that box was already checked.
It doesn't happen on every page I go to.
Thanks
 
Has anyone ever actually had success with these
recommended pages? I've had this problem for a long time
and all I ever read about is people suggesting these same
solutions on these web pages. I've tried every single
one of them (and their umpteen branches) and THEY DON'T
WORK! I still can't see certain graphics on some web
pages and no, there is no red 'X' in it's place. Just no
gif image that's part of the page.
Any real ideas????

Red X instead of pics

There are several different reasons that pictures don't display in IE. Some
you can fix, and some you can't. A common one (that can only be fixed by the
Web site designer) is misconfigured HTML code that points to the wrong
location for the picture. For example, in writing the code for the page, the
designer may have pointed to a location on his/her local hard drive where
the picture is stored. The photo would show up when the designer previewed
it on his own computer, but you can't access his hard disk when viewing it
over the Internet. If you right click the red X and select Properties, it
will show you the location. If it looks like a local disk path (for example,
c:\graphics\picture.jpg), that's the problem. Contact the Web designer, if
possible, and let him/her know.

Another problem might be that the picture isn't in a format supported by IE
(for example, Corel PhotoPaint's .CPT or Adobe PhotoShop's .PSD formats). IE
supports the following image formats: .GIF, .JPG, .BMP, .ART, .WMF, .EMF,
..PNG, .MOV, .XBM, .AVI, .MPG, .MPEG. Again, there's nothing you can do about
this.

If neither of these is the problem, check to be sure Show Pictures is turned
on. Click Tools | Internet Options, click the Advanced tab, and under
Multimedia, ensure that Show Pictures is checked. Some images may need
ActiveX or Java to display. On the Security tab, click Default level for
Internet zone and ensure the setting is Medium
 
Thanks for the reply. I do appreciate your effort but
none of these ideas are the problem either. The HTML
code is OK (I made it) and it works fine on other
computers. Also, the images are GIFs which IE can
handle. Plus there is no red X, just a blank where I
know the graphic should be. Other websites are
fine. "Show pictures" is checked too and Java, etc is
correct.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
