Unable to view some images

[Guest]

Certain kinds of images are no longer viewable in IE, and instead the image
symbol is substituted. If I right-click on these symbols and choose "show
picture," then the image does appear. For example, the images beside each
newsgroup name does not appear in the newsgroups index. This problem in
browsing occurs only with IE-based browsers and IE itself, not with Opera or
Firefox. But in addition, wallpapers don't appear on my desktop unless I also
show the desktop icons; this seems a related problem to the one inflicting IE.

Measures tried: emptied internet temporaries and ensured sufficient space;
made sure security was set to medium. I thought maybe this problem was caused
by the latest MS critical update for IE, but I suppose I would then have seen
something on the subject.
