pictures don't always show

[MZB]

I use IE 6.0.

When I visit some sites, thumbnail pictures seem not to show. I get the
little square with an X in the upper left-hand corner.

Is there some setting I need to change?

Hi MZB

You do not mention the version of Windows you are using, or if you have IE
Sp1 or SP2, so I will have to guess at a solution. Try the following and
see if it helps:

First - Do you have an accelerator supplied by your ISP? If so, try turning
it off.
It works by reducing image size (and therefor quality) for downloads.

Try clearing the IE cache.
IE>Tools>Options>General>Delete files (and delete offline content.)
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

Check your HOSTS file (no extension).
If you are not sure of the location, do a Search for HOSTS

Close all instances of IE
Rename the HOSTS (e.g. HOSTS.OLD or SAV)
Launch IE and see if the images appear

also..

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. Uncheck "remove private headers" for all sites.
4. Go to this site and read on adjusting the Privacy settings in ZA. It will
explain how to customize on a per site basis.

If still no joy………..

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

Pictures are not displayed in Internet Explorer

Are there any solutions to the IE6 missing GIF problem?

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

Make sure that the Kill-bit is _NOT_ set to Flash Control.

Hope this helps.

A client uses a web application heavily scripted with jsp. There is no
problem with any XP machine, but several (fully up to date with IE6, all
windows updates, and latest Sun JVM) Windows 98 PC's pop up a message re.
needing a DHTML component with an option to download or cancel. This
message appears after entering some data search parameters, being advised ##
records found, press OK to display. It makes no difference which option is
selected. The message repeats every time and IE basically sits there doing
nothing further, i.e. never displays the records. Would appreciate any
ideas on this.
