bg,
Try the quick, easy fix first. Clear the IE cache from IE> Tools> Internet
Options> General> Delete files and Delete offline content. Reset the TIF
folder size to about 50MB and clear it occasionally.
Next, is another program causing this? The following information comes from
Mike Burgess:
- - - -
Are you using a Firewall or "filtering software"?
Several of these are known to cause problems:
1) Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?]
Reset "Ad Blocking" and "Cookie Control" to "medium"
"Mobile Code Control" = Off
2) Symantec (ISS\NIS)[Enable Browser Privacy - enabled]
Active Content - "Allow All Script To Execute"
Problem: some sites cannot detect the 128 bit encryption
Solution: Completely remove and reinstall NIS.

3) Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer"
or contains entries that are blocking access to the desired site.
4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
site.
5) Cookie blocking software that are blocking "required" Cookies.
6) Pop-up blockers that are stripping header\url info.
7) WebWasher Standard Filter/URL Filter
8) Make sure the following entry is not corrupt:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"User Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32)"
Note: "Win32" = Windows 98\ME
Other versions = (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0
To check your "User Agent":
Paste the below into the Address Bar and view the output:
javascript:navigator.userAgent
[Example WinME output]
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)

IE6 sp1, Win 98 SE. Dial-up, no less than 42k connection.
When I visit some web pages some of the images don't show (25-40% don't) but
rather have a box and a red X. I can right click on it and select "show
picture" and it will open. It doesn't happen on some pages with many
pictures. I'm noticing it more now on various sites including eBay where
some of the tiny thumbnails next to the description don't show in the search
result list.
I've been using Ad Subtract and Zone Alarm for over a year, but this problem
is new. I'm not running a virus scanner at the moment because my ISP scans
email and I never view or open mail I was not expecting. I don't download
from the Web either. I checked and I am not running and BHOs.
thanks, bg
