Can't display html graphics

A

Andy Elliott

I am unable to display html graphics unless I go to View,
Encoding, then click Western European! I have to do this
for every page to get it to display properly. Instead of
graphics I get a box with an X in it. Many other pages
just do not display properly until I go through this
ritual. Anyone have any ideas to fix this? It's driving
me crazy!

Andy: This is similar to the problem I suddenly started
having today (see post below re: bug.cgi), except that
selecting View/Encoding/Western European (either ISO or
Windows) doesn't clear the problem. I have red Xs all
over eBay pages, and a very few on other sites.

Try the following and see if it helps:

Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

The temporary I.E. files folder is a cache for web pages that you have
visited. I don't know why Microsoft sets the default so high, but I have
seen 2gb set for storage. This and other setting can be changed to decreace
the size of the storage area, and supposedly delete the I.E. temp file when
you close the browser.
