Strange things happen to new PC

[Jason Rookie]

There are a few dozens of websites that i used to surf on
my old PC with Windows 98 & dial-up connection.
Everything was A-okay.

Now that i got my new PC with Windows XP and broadband.
Naturally i'm all excited (prematurely). I browsed these
same websites, some of the pictures on these websites do
not appear. There are no placeholders (the little red
crosses) where the jpegs suppose to be. It just has an
empty space where the picture should be. I try right-
click and look for the "Show Picture" in the pop-up menu,
but nowhere to be found. Is it as if the image were never
meant to be there. I know it should be there because I
have seen it a million times. (I know for sure that
there's nothing wrong with the site because i checked it
out on another PC and it's fine. Besides, it would weird
if 8 or 9 of these sites suddenly played up just when i
got my new PC. Conspiracy theory...hehehe).
Another puzzling things, only some of these sites have
these problems (and very consistent), not all of them.

Thanx in advance,

Jason

Jason:
Excellent explanation.

Did the problem occur the first time you visited the
websites, from your XP machine, or on later visits?

Check the "internet options" on the XP machine & the other
PC. Specificially "security" tab, "custom level" button ;
and "advanced" tab.

Are the settings the same?

Thanx for reply, Jo.
I have looked at the internet security of the two PCs and
I set them to be identical. But it didn't fix the
problem. In fact, I've another problems with some of
these sites that i never had before on my old PC. I
downloaded files from these websites fine before with my
old PC. But when i do identical thing with my new PC, i
get a 403 permission error. I never have this problem
before. What's wrong?
