Hi,
I have a windows xp (home) SP2 system on my laptop. Lately, if you try to
open the google homepage, the page opens up but the "google" banner doesnt
display. Everything else on the page shows up. The same thing with a yahoo
email. None of the images or attachments inside the email show up. I have
tried running antispyware and I have an antivirus installed. Tried disabling
both but still no use. It worked once briefly when I was updating my
Microsoft antispyware to a newer version but as soon as I rebooted the system
it wouldnt display again. I have noticed the same whenever I open the bank of
america homepage. The bank logo or image doesnt show up, but the rest of the
page is fine. I tried installing Direct X and other JRE's but it still doesnt
work. I am not sure if it is a problem with IE or Windows. Somebody please
help me or else I would have to reinstall the operating system just for these
images.

Thanks,
George

Hi,
First go to Internet Options> Advanced> Multimedia and make sure that "Show
pictures" is checked.

Then, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete files
(and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often recommended
that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

Next, McAfee Privacy Service has caused this problem recently. Disable it.

Next, (as a test) turn on the Windows Firewall (Control Panel> Windows
Firewall) and disable the third-party firewall (if you're running one.)
Disable other third-party security/ad-blocking programs. One of the may need
to be reconfigured.

Other possibilities at:
Red X- Pictures do not Show: http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/redx.htm
and
283807 - Pictures Are Not Displayed on Web Sites in Internet Explorer

Hope this helps,
