Do you know what types of pictures that you're having trouble with. .GIFs, .JPEGs, etc.?

It does this to me on my old computer sometimes, when I have too much load on the ram I think. When there is too many ie windows like 8-10 the images won't load at all...

I was thinking along the lines of there being something up with your settings in IE. But if the pics are loading in your first few windows but aren't loading later on, that pretty much rules that out. 64MB may not be enough memory to handle what you have going on. You may want to see if increasing the space that you have allocated for virtual memory helps. Control Panel > System > Performance Tab > Virtual Memory.

mine says total 720mb

Delete your temporary internet files.

[Evo]

yup i did that but it stil does it.

is it something to do wtih internet explorer?

[muTe]

maybe you could try to reinstall internet explorer

Evo, were you able to figure out if it was a particular type of pic that wasn't loading? Also, what versions of Windows and IE are you running?

[Evo]

um its probly jpg and gif and maybe some others. ithink i have the newest version but i nto quite sure is there a way to check?

To find out what pics aren't loading, right-click on the red-x that you're getting and select properties. Do this to a few pics. To get the version of IE select Help > About.

[Evo]

version 6.0.2800

and the x's are jpg and gif mostly

Okay, I've got a couple of things that you can try. This problem has popped up for me and a couple of other board members plus plenty of other IE users. It seems to be a problem that can have many causes. Here are some possible solutions. I hope one of these helps you out.

First, check for a file named "HOSTS" on your hard drive. Rename it to something like HOSTSBAK. If that doesn't help then check for these two registry keys, and delete them.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\ftp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\http]
