Some images never appear.

[icemocha]

I realised recently that my IE6 has this problem of not displaying images as
they are meant to be.
i kept getting red X at different points for images that are made to appear.
Or rather they dun appear and i have to right click and "Show Picture"
before they come out. I took them for broken links at first but then i
noticed it's so frequent and how could websites like Yahoo! and
Livescores.com have broken almost everytimes i view them.

Can anyone help?
thanks alot.

Well. I sometimes see an X, but very often the image starts loading, but
displays 'Completed'
when the images is only partial! If the image is in the cache, a tool like
Acdsee will
show a big gray area usually at bottom. Reload will not restart the
download, unless the
file is deleted first from the cache.

This is not what most complains about!

To add some more details about your symptom
tell us what happens if you set Work Offline (Alt-F,W)
and then try to clone the page (Ctrl-N). (If you get a prompt
about connecting that would mean that some of the page is
non-cacheable. Keep clicking on Stay Offline until the rendering
stops.) If the page itself is non-cacheable but the images are
cached set your cache checking option to Never and allow
the clone to connect. (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,N)

In the first case (cloned from cache) if you see a different pattern
of images that means that they must have been cached but not
rendered for some reason. Whenever this case happened to me
I set my cache checking option to Every visit... (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,E).
Although slower it seemed more reliable. Unfortunately there is now
a new related problem which apparently Every visit... may exacerbate.

Also the type of images can make a difference:

You have to experiment for each different case and find workarounds
that fit them exactly. There is no one solution for fixing all problems
with image rendering in IE.

If you need more help a sample link might be useful.

Thank for your suggestions about CTl-N. It is not obvious to do it, but I'll
try when a got the problem next.

However, I can be more specific: (IE 6 with Win 98 SE, AMD 2400)

- This problem happens mostly when there is a heavy trafic on my line (20
Kb/s
at that time, or so)

- On the same site, with images on the same pattern (pages or images taken
by 'Load in another page' on the same original page), some are complete, and
some are not.

- It does look like some site can have the problem, and others never have
it.

- The image is displayed as if completed (done), but it does not fill the
frame completely. It may be a standalone image, or part of a page.

- When I copy the image file from the cache (Mostly .jpg) and then look at
it with Acdsee
I can see a large grayed area for the part which has not been loaded. Using
PSP, either
the image is the same, or the bad part show a pattern of dots over parts of
it). It is quite certain
that the file has been truncated, but IE is not aware of it.

- And last, If I DELETE the bad file in the cache, when ON LINE (by using
Win explorer and
the complète link), and then Hit RELOAD, then the image usually comes out
completely.

So, to me, it look really like some kind of time-out, the IE stopping to ask
for
the remaining of the file...

By the way, my setting was to 'Automatic'. I changed it to 'every visit',
but it will take some
time to be sure of any changes.
