Photos not displaying/downloading in IE6

[cschiller1]

Hi all -

I asked this in the Internet Explorer group but got no solutions.

In the past 3 days, my IE6 is not downloading/displaying all of the
photos (also graphics, avatars, etc) on some web pages.

- The system was fine last Thursday. No proactive changes were made by
me to the system. No software, upgrades, etc. were knowingly installed.

- Using IE6, web pages no longer download completely. Some or all photos
(and icons and avatars --- IOW, most graphics) do not download. All text
downloads. This happens on pages that definitely do not have Flash,
scripting, or other bells and whistles. For example, the page
http://www.wrra-oakville.ca/currentevents.html always hangs with between
7 and 10 objects remaining --- there is nothing on the page but text,
photos and graphics.

- The same problem pages download fine in Netscape 7.x. on this computer.

- The same problem pages download fine on my wife's laptop on the same
LAN connected to the net

- popups are disabled

- a system restore did not solve anything

- Deleting the Temporary Internet Files folder produced no difference.
Nor did deleting the temporary files and history cache.

- Booting into safe mode with networking produces no difference

Anyone have a solution? This is really a PITA.

Whatever the security/privacy settings are on your wife's computer are, make
sure that yours are the same?

It is not like you don't have something to compare to. If all the settings
are "exactly" the same (and I mean advanced/custom settings also), find out
what extra security software (antivirus, anti-malware, etc.) you are running
that she isn't.

Richard -

Thanks for the response. I don't think security/privacy settings are the
issue, because, as I said, /some/ photos and graphics /do/ download. If
it were a security/privacy issue, the problem would exist with /all/ of
the images on a page, no?

As for extra security software, nothing is running now that wasn't
running 4 days ago when everything was fine, and no settings have been
changed.

It is a puzzlement. But I'll have a look at the settings anyway. Thanks.

Download the file ie6setup.exe from this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&DisplayLang=en

Save it to your local drive root: C:\

Goto START --> RUN and type: cmd

This will open a DOS-like command window.

Navigate to C:\ to find the ie6setup file by typing: CD \ and press Enter.

Once at C:\>, type ie6setup /q -- Hit Enter

Give it a few moments and the Setup program will start, follow the steps to
install Internet Explorer, when completed reboot your computer and try to
surf the net again.

Good luck and let us know of your solution once you find it.

Unfortunately, following these instructions had absolutely zero effect.
I still am having problems on some web pages where all photos do not
download.

I appreciate your attempt to help. Any other suggestions? I'm desperate!
