Can't see some icons or pictures in IE when looking at websites

[Barb]

Hi - many months ago I got into Windows XP and changed a setting in it that I
would like to get back. If I am in my own account I can't see some of the
buttons you can click to go places or other things such as that. In order to
see everything properly in websites I have to use my husband's account. Does
anyone out there know what I did and how to change it back?? Thanks

Barb,open IE and go to Tools>Internet Options>Under Security Tab set each
zone for Default. Under Advanced Tab Scroll down a check boxes that are
next to a missing feature
such as Show pictures. If you are interested in adding features go to
View>Toolbars. Check which one you want.

You might have enabled the "high contrast" setting, intended for people
with vision problems. Check:

Control Panel | Accessory Options | Display | Use High Contrast

If that setting is enabled, turn it off.
