IE6 nopictures-no virus or spy/adware

[Guest]

I have scanned for viruses, adware and spyware. Still,
many of my pictures are empty boxes with little red Xs.
Many of the pages I try to open tell me This page Cannot
be Displayed. Some give me an illegal operation message
and shut me down. I even uninstalled IE6 and reinstalled
it. Any ideas?

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.

It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

Check your Java, some pictures are generated by script.

renaming my hosts file (actually there were three) worked!
I have pictures again! Thank you.
