Doesn't load pictures - several refreshes work

[TinMan]

I know there are lots of issues with the red x's connected to download
speeds, but I think mine is different.

I have XP Rpo, IE 6, on a 2.6 Ghz machine and a very good DSL connection. I
have several other PC's in the house sharing the same connection and are not
experiencing this issue. My work PC is a MUCH slower PC on a much slower
connection and doesn't do it.

I constantly go to sites and get few, if any images. I have to hit refresh
several times. Each refresh will load different pics and eventually I can
get them all.

It's got to be a download time limit of some sort I think, but I'm not sure
where to go fix it.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Tin

Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.
If still no joy then have a look at this page for other issues.

I know that my hosts file will block some pictures, those hiding being some
spywares.
It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

My host file is empty.

I've already cleared my cache.

I'm going through the link you gave me.

Thanks,
