Problem displaying small GIF images on websites

Hi all - I've been having some problems with my web browser.

It is having trouble displaying small GIF files on many different sites -
sometimes just a 'blank' filler or 'x' appears instead, and looks very ugly.
Sometimes , however, it loads fine. If I refresh the page they usually
load, but its annoying. I would say the GIF images fail to display maybe 1
in 3 times.
There is no problem with JPEGs, however.

This happened around about the time I installed IIS. Dunno if there's any
relation.

What could the problem be? Browser is 6.0 SP1, O/S is XP Pro (non SP1).
 
David,
You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK

[more info]
Possibly your cache folder is corrupt:
