Hi,
Please refer to the KB article # 283807 "Pictures Are Not Displayed on Web
Sites in Internet Explorer".
Sometime the page loads very very slowly. For this I have simulated the
Resolution # 3 listed below and works just as you described.
I have pasted the workaround from the KB article.
RESOLUTION
============
To troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps. After each step, check to
see if the issue is resolved. If the issue still occurs, continue
troubleshooting with the next step:
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. If you have the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory installed, click the
Toggle Images.exe link on the Links toolbar to turn on images.
Note If the Links toolbar is not visible, right-click a blank area of the
toolbar and verify that there is a check next to Links. If the Toggle
Images.exe link is not visible on the Links toolbar, click the arrow with
two angle brackets on the far right-side of the Links toolbar.
3. Verify that Show Pictures has not been turned off in Internet Explorer:
a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
b. Click the Advanced tab, and then verify that the Show
Pictures check box is selected under Multimedia.
c. Click OK.
4. Make sure scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, and Java applets are
enabled in Internet Explorer. To do so, follow these steps:
a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
b. Click the Security tab, and then click Default Level (if it is
available) for the zone which contains the Web page (for example,
Internet).
c. If you are using Internet Explorer 6, click the Privacy tab, and then
click Default (if it is available).
5. If you are using a third-party Internet security, firewall, or cookie
blocking program, contact the manufacturer of the program for information
about how to enable scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, Java applets,
advertisements, and HTTP referral information. For example, if you have
Norton Internet Security (NIS) or Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) installed,
see the following Symantec Corporation Web sites for additional information
about the various settings in these products that might cause this
behavior:

If you access the Internet through a local area network (LAN), contact the
administrator of your LAN to verify that scripting, ActiveX controls,
cookies, Java applets, advertisements, and HTTP referral information are
not blocked by a firewall or other security features on the network.
6. Start Internet Explorer.
7. On the View menu, point to Encoding. If a check does not appear next to
Auto-Select, click Auto-Select.
8. On the View menu, point to Encoding, and then click the appropriate
language for the Web page that you are trying to view. For example, if the
Web
page is in English (United States), click Western European
(ISO) or Western European (Windows). If the required language is not
available on the
View menu, follow these steps to add it:
a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
b. Click Languages, and then click Add.
c. Click the appropriate language, and then click OK.
If the problem is not resolved, a file or registry key required to display
the Web page with the appropriate character set may be missing or damaged.
To resolve this problem, restore Windows from a complete system backup or
reinstall (or repair) Windows. If you are running Microsoft Windows
Millennium Edition or Microsoft Windows XP, you may be able to resolve this
issue without restoring or reinstalling Windows by using the System Restore
utility to return your computer to a previous working state.
For additional information about how to use System Restore in Windows XP,
click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:
306084 HOW TO: Restore the Operating System to a Previous State in Windows
XP
Note that in some cases you may also be able to resolve this problem by
manually editing the registry. For example, if the28591 String value is
missing from the following registry key, a Web page that is encoded for the
Western European (ISO) code page might not display any images:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage
The value for this registry key should be set to the name of the
appropriate code page file in your Windows\System or Windows\System32
folder. For the Western European (ISO) code page, this value should be
either Cp_28591.nls (Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition) or C_28591.NLS
(Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP). For additional information
about the character sets that are supported by Internet Explorer, visit the
following Microsoft Web site:
