There are images in this site >>> http://home.datacomm.ch/winzozz/howes.htm
that I cannot see with IE 6 SP1 but only with Mozilla Firefox !!!!!!!!!!
Why ?
Thanks a lot .

In IE, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced Tab - scroll down to Multimedia and make
sure "Show Pictures" is checked.

I had already this entry checked !
Something else ?

I've done a test. I've downloaded the page and still windows explorer
doesn't see the image.
The image is *.png file. Then I've copied in the files folder a .gif file
and according with it I've changed
in the html file the statement >>>
<img alt="" src="howes_files/ie-spyad1.gif" ..........
and explorer shows the image !!!!
Is it possibile that a *.png file can not be seen with IE ?????

I'm having no problems viewing the png files in IE. I checked my registry but
couldn't find anything of any use.

Which OS? If XP by default the Picture/Fax Viewer has this
association.

To restore all associations for the Picture/Fax Viewer
Run... (e.g. press Win-R and enter

regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

Note: please make sure that you want to make *all* image type
associations restored to the default or be sure that you know
how to reassociate them with whatever app they currently
are associated with.


For any NTx you can check the current association in a command
window with this command pipeline:

ftype | find /i "png"


In any case you could try

regsvr32 pngfilt.dll
