bet i have a prob no1 here can fix. CHECK IT!

problem:
Images wont load properly on my browser. Internet speed is fine. can still download at speeds up to 200kbs.

However when surfing sites images wont show up on my browser no matter how long it is left to load

what i tried:
Deleted the parititions and did a fresh reinstalled of winXP twice. Still no luck. REsetted teh router to go back to the factory default of "No Firewall" got lucky a few times. but still no luck.


Computer Stats:
Athlon XP 2400+
512MB DDR RAM
80GIg HD split into two 40GIG partitions
1 partition is for installtion and windows, the 2nd is only for storage.
128MB video card.
OP system - Win XP

What could it be?

What does the winner of the bet get??

hey buddy heres something u didnt mention which i think u should try. DOWNLOAD ALL OF THE REQUIRED BROWSER PLUGINS LIKE SHOCKWAVE OR FLASH PLAYER!!! and you should download the latest version of mozilla firefox. its possibly the bet browser out there.

here is an Example.
Okay. that would make sense... but i dont think Flash is needed to view a simple HTML page with only JPG pics..
i have Java which is adequate for normal surfing.


I will pay pal the winner $1.00 dollar! seriously its all i can afford after Xmas shopping. lol

but i will pay pal you $1 if you coudl give good advice fixing this.

While he's doing that, you should download the latest version of spellchecker for yourself. I think that's "best" for you.

The obvious thing to check would be the setting for
Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Show Images


When you right-click on the image placeholder, what does the pop-up menu show? Is the "Show picture" option enabled or is it greyed out?

In IE, go to Tools, Internet Options then to the Advanced tab.
Scroll down to the Multimedia section and make sure that "Show Pictures" is checked.

Since he re-loaded XP etc, there is obvious something else wrong.

Try downloading a .gif and a .jpg and see if you can open them in IE locally from your hard drive.

Have you tried the following from MS Support?

Pictures Are Not Displayed on Web Sites in Internet Explorer

um, try dounloading firefox


Someone had to say it

But that is not a solution to the problem.

Who knows? Maybe IE is to blame...or some short of transparent proxy from his ISP

You can also give a shot to Opera
Ditch IE!

IE might be corrupt... To just reinstall IE, go to C:\windows\inf (it's a hidden folder - type it into the command line) and then find the file IE.INF

Right click on it and choose Install. It will then prompt you for the XP cd; browse to the i386 folder on the root of the disk and then click ok. It'll finish the install and then prompt you to restart.

Strange prob..

have you try connecting to the net through another source???

Other than that..i have no clue.. Other than that it is a reason for you get a new rig

I've seen this problem twice before.
And this is the solution that worked for me.

Check out your hosts file
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
[open hosts file with notepad]

The hosts file causes IE to time-out on pics if it has too many entries. I only put about 10-20 entries in my hosts file.
