lines in images

[vorax]

sometimes IE displays images with vertical lines through
them. most of the time if i close IE and re-open it again,
they're fine, but lately it's been happening a lot more
frequently.

anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

Vorax,
I believe you need to update your video card drivers.
Also, empty your Temporary Internet Files.
HTH,

You probably need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
