Embedded Pictures

I use comcast webmail, recently I have not been able to view the embedded pictures that come in the email. I get in place of where the picture should be the size of the pictures and the little red "x" saying that it cannot show the picture. The picture also attaches to the bottom of the email which is fine but sometimes its nicer to see embedded pictures with what Im reading and its not always kosher to have to open 20 attachments Anyways, I called comcast and they said its my settings somewhere but they can't tell me how to fix it. Im using IE 6.0 and Windows 98. If anyone can help, I would be very appreciative!

Does this happen just in your mail or on other web pages also?
What happens if you right click on the picture and select 'show picture'?
Right click a picture and select properties. What kind of file extension does it have? It may just be a reassociation thats needed.

 

Only in the email, here is what the file says under properties:

Protocol: Unknown Protocol

Type: Not available

The picture will nto show with the right click, either I will check out the provided links
