IE6 stripping image files. It ignores some <IMG> tags

[Berto]

I am running Windows XP with all latest service packs and updates. I noticed
a problem that I am not sure when it began. The browser is selective not
displaying some of the graphics on the page. I do not mean that you get the
red X. It simply as if the graphics should not be there.

I decided to get the source that IE read on the computer with the
malfunctioning IE as well as the source for the same page on a computer in
which IE is displaying said page correctly. Below are three of the
differences and as you can see you can see that on the malfunctioning IE the
<IMG ....> tags are missing. Any idea on what could cause this?

I am not sure why it selectively chose those particular <IMG> tags as there
many others in the document that works fine.

HELP PLEASE

Berto,
Many possibilities. See if this information helps:

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 and clear it occasionally.

Next, is another program causing this? The following information comes 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.

Web Pages Display a Red "X" Instead of a Graphic

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)
