Why won't IE display correctly?

[Joseph]

For some reason it wants to load the page...apparently
correctly...then when it's fully loaded it blows away some
of the graphics & buttons.

For instance, on www.repairclinic.com the button to "Add
to Cart" doesn't show. And, many of the graphics won't
show unless I refresh the screen.

What's up?

Clear the Temporary Internet Files cache and the problem should go away. In Internet Explorer (close all pages except your home page first), click on Tools, Internet Options, then use the Delete Files... button in the middle section of the General tab. While you are there, you might want to click on the Settings button to see what size has been allocated for TIF. By default IE uses a very large cache if you have a large hard drive, and too large a cache can actually cause problems. If you are on a broadband connection (cable, DSL, etc.) a setting of 25 MB is probably plenty (I use 5), while dial-up users may want a slightly larger size, but not over 100 MB in my opinion.
