No pictures show on web pages

[doug]

None of the "framed" pictures on web pages appear, there
is just a small "x" in each window. For instance, at
espn.com or microsoft.com the web page shows typing only,
not pictures. Makes it nearly impossible to navigate web
pages. Running Windows 98 with Internet Explorer 6 & all
updates & patches. Security & privacy & advanced internet
options all on default. Anyone?

Frank, thanks for the response. I've tried everything
except modifying the registry due to my limited skills and
to no avail. Is there any other option out there? The
web pages say i have a "script error".

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Check the box to Disable script debugging.
Uncheck the box to Display a notification about every script error.

1. You might want to refresh your scripting engine:

or

Sometimes there's a corrupt file in the cache and one must go to Tools |
Internet Options and click Delete Files.

2a. Start>Run>Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

2b. Start>Run>Regsvr32 jscript.dll

(WinXP users who have problems with 2a and 2b, see

3. Re-register all DLLs listed in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679

check for hijackware anyway):
