IE6 SP2 Internet Options - Image problems

G

Guest

I am getting a lot of the infamous red x's on web sites and as well as on
some help files images. I keep seeing advice to go to Tools/Internet
Options/Advanced Tab and be sure the Show Pictures box is checked.

I don't have such a box. I have Play sounds... , Play Videos... , and Smart
Image dithering. And all are checked.

Any suggestions???

Thanks.

Hi Tom :)

First try the following:

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


Zone Alarm Pro can block Images in IE

1. Go into IE>Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom level>reset custom
level to Medium or Low
2. Go into IE>Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>set the slider to Medium or Low
3. Go to this site and read on adjusting the Privacy settings in ZA. It will
explain how to customize on a per site basis.

also...

Red X Instead of Images -
Can not see or save Images/Pictures
Fuzzy Text and fuzzy web graphics

Change the DPI setting from Large to Normal and see if that helps.

and..

Do you havw an accelerator supplied by your ISP? If so, try turning it off.

or......

I can't see JPG's or GIFS any more - red x - images missing - fuzzy
images/distorted images

also..

If you have Zone Alarm, Uncheck "remove private headers" for all
sites.

or.....................

To restore the default file association, go to
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
Download, unzip and merge the REG file, "JPE/JPG/JPEG Association Fix"
Some image/graphics programs will change file associations.

or..........

You might also try this fix. Although it worked for a few others, it may not
work for you, but, it may be worth a try. But, be sure to back up your
Registry before you try this:

Open Regedit
Open \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\

Delete the keys "http", "https", and "ftp"
Leave the 'mk' key

The mk key is created by Windows and the others may be created by some other
dnld or type manager.

also.......

Pictures Do Not Show
http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/redx.htm

or.......................

Right click on the graphic you see and a pop up menu should appear. Select
"Show Picture" option.

Then, go to Internet Options>Advanced Tab
Show Pictures - check option if
unchecked to display pictures all the time.

Can't View Some Graphics on IE/AOL

If you have Norton Personal Firewall or some other ad-blocking software or
popup stoppers installed, try disabling this type of software temporarily to
see whether this could be the problem. Many of these programs block
Javascript, which is often used to pop up login windows and create rollover
graphics. Norton Security, for example, is known to block any image that
originates from another server (advertisement images usually do), and I'm
guessing it also blocks at least some Javascript.

Set the following -

Under Security
Java Medium
Display mixed content-prompt is checked

Under Scripting
Scripting of Java applets
Is set to Enable

Privacy settings are medium

also..

Are there any solutions to the IE6 missing GIF problem?
