IE "no graphics"

Rumors are going around that this is a common bug in internet explorer. Iti is when you access a webpage, and where the graphics are supposed to be, only an outline of the graphic shows up with an icon displaying a circle, square, and rectangle appear.

Does anybody know a patch or update or anything that will fix this??

how about for msn 8 (does the same thing)

I have to use mozilla now its the only one that works...

Well, one thing you can check is this. Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. Go to the Advanced tab and scroll down to the section titled "Multimedia". See if the option called "Show pictures" is checked. If it isn't, check it and hit Apply and OK. hth

Take a look at this MS KB article.

Steps 7 and 8 fixed the problem for me. I didn't have "Auto-Select" checked so I checked it to see what would happen and haven't had the dreaded Red X problem since. Well, haven't had it on pages that are constructed correctly. For some reason, when the page's author links a graphic to his/her harddrive (bad html code) I just can't seem to get it to load. Go figure.

thanks for the feedback. I didnt' have the show pictures box checked. I wonder how that got unchecked all of a sudden?

it must have been a windows update bug.

thanks for the help!
