When a web page loads usually most of the pictures and buttons show
as a white box with red x. If I check the View - encodeing it is
usually Western Euro ISO. If I change to Western Euro (windows) or
Unicode it loads properly. Have to do this with every web page.
Pages load extremely slow also. Op system is Win98. Anyone know
how to fix this problem? Thanks Richard

Most of the contents of this page are from Don Varnau and Mike Burgess
There are many possible causes and solutions.
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 (Settings button) and clear it occasionally.
Also, go to Start | Run and type
regsvr32 /i mshtml
and press OK.

Additional information 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.
