Same as everyone, IE6 troubles loading images/pages in XP PRO

I'm on a fresh reinstall of XP Professional. With a P4 2.6 ASUS P4P800 setup running two 120 Gig Maxtor Serial ATA drives. I've loaded all of the recent updates for XP and IE. I am currently running the ICF firewall built-in to XP. Though it doesn't matter if it's on or off in reference to my problem. This problem seems to be an XP only issue at least in my case, because my Win2k Machine running IE6 SP1 works just fine.

Like everyone else it seems, IE6 is not downloading images as it should. It decides that it may or may not load pages indiscriminately. (F5 is now the second most used key on the keyboard). Because if they don't load the first time, they usually load the second or third time. For instance, even the microsoft page that I am using to view this thread is missing the Microsoft logo and any other imagery on the page. This cannot be due to cache problems. I've also eliminated the registry possibility, as well as encoding, file association, security, etc. Basically nothing is working. IE6 sp1 is severely buggy despite any allusions to Photoshop 7 jpg's.

There seems to be almost purposeful radio silence on this issue in any of the knowledge bases on the Microsoft site. Though on the web there are several posts in reference to this problem. A lot of misguided fixes, solutions, but nothing ultimately works.

All I would like to know is when is this problem is going to be fixed for XP? When is the next service pack coming out and will it address this issue?

If anyone has a miracle cure please let me know.

Regards,
Nathan

I have never had a problem with images, nor has anyone I know.

I have no trouble with IE on 2 XP systems and one 98SE system. It works
great on all three of them, and is definitely not "severely buggy". Check
your setup for errors, and run your updated anti-virus and anti-spyware
software.

Good luck.
