Numbered boxes on screen?

[James Truelove]

Hi All

I have numbered boxes appearing on screen? Each number seems to be
hovering over a picture element on the screen? Any ideas?

They appear in Internet Explorer when surfing the Internet. Loads of
little square boxes appear all over any web page. They do not appear to
cause any harm they are just a nuisance. They disappear after a few
minutes. My guess is they are something to do with each element on the
page but I cannot find any reference to them anywhere, and I have done
all the usual searches through the Microsoft Knowledge Database, and
Google etc.
