IE not displaying all graphics

M

mikey

Greetings. I've been having an annoying (not critical) problem with
IE not displaying all graphics on several web pages. There are boxes
where these graphics should go, but with a small icon-red square in
upper left corner, green circle on middle right side and blue triangle
in lower left corner. I've gone through the file options and changed
the graphics options to a viewer which has always worked in the past,
without being able to identify this particular icon, but the problem
persists. I can't seem to find anything in the KB about it, but my
query could be skewed. What would solve this problem? (And please
don't let it be something some brain-dead bozo should be able to
figure out.) XP Pro, IE 6. Thanks for any assistance.

Many possibilities...
Try the quick, easy fix first. Clear the IE cache from IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete files and Delete offline content. Reset the TIF
folder size to about 50MB (Settings button) and clear it occasionally.

Additional information from Mike Burgess:

Are you using a Firewall or "filtering software"?

Several of these are known to cause problems:
1) Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?]
Reset "Ad Blocking" and "Cookie Control" to "medium"
"Mobile Code Control" = Off

2) Symantec (ISS\NIS)[Enable Browser Privacy - enabled]
Active Content - "Allow All Script To Execute"
Problem: some sites cannot detect the 128 bit encryption
Solution: Completely remove and reinstall NIS.

3) Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer"
or contains entries that are blocking access to the desired site.

4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
site.

5) Cookie blocking software that are blocking "required" Cookies.

6) Pop-up blockers that are stripping header\url info.

7) WebWasher Standard Filter/URL Filter

8) Make sure the following entry is not corrupt:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"User Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32)"

Note: "Win32" = Windows 98\ME
Other versions = (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0;)

To check your "User Agent":
Paste the below into the Address Bar and view the output:

javascript:navigator.userAgent

[Example WinME output]
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)
