Internet Explorer 7 no longer displays .png pictures...

[Loaderbull]

Hi all,

From the title you can see my problem. I'm running Home Premium, with all
updates. I have cleared cache's, reset IE7 settings, run sfc /scannow which
found no errors, and all of my IE7 settings are default.

I have turned Protected Mode OFF, set Cookies to ALLOW ALL, and turned
Security settings to minimum, all to no avail! I am, to put it mildly,
frustrated...

However, there is a weird thing that happens, i can go into the Program
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe and right click it, Run as Admin, and
..png pictures are able to display?

This is why i lowered all of the security settings in Internet Options, as
Run as Admin does not use Protected Mode etc. But i cannot get it to work
with me, the only User on my Laptop, set as Admin.

I don't know how to repair IE7 in Vista, as what i have read the only
options are sfc /scannow and a clean install. I have the Vista Disc, but
don't want the hassle of reinstalling EVERYTHING!

Please, any suggestions very welcome,

Thanks.

Try disabling UAC in windows. It is connected to protected mode in some ways
so that may be an issue. I would also check your default file type settings
to see what program is the default for a png file. You might want to set it
to IE or somethign else harmless. If you have some 3rd party software trying
to open the files, that might be the problem.
