Resolved Different profiles view IE differently

I'm struggling to figure out whether this is an IE problem, or a Windows problem, but I thought I'd start here, since it affects IE.

The basics:
Vista
IE 7

On our desktop we have three profiles set up - me, my husband, my son. The two of them use the desktop more than I (I'm on my laptop most often), so I don't get on the desktop much anymore.

Something has happened to their two profiles...or they have upgraded or added something each that has affected their profiles - but mine is fine.

My husband's IE homepage is Google.com. When he opens it, the image of Google is gone - it's just the Red X. When my son logs in to certain websites - say, Lego.com - he gets a few images, but most of it is not visible. When I log in, I get a totally different page.

Both of them have image load/view problems. I don't. What would affect just their two profiles, but not mine? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Sorry - I guess I wasn't too clear. I mean to say that I'm not experiencing any of the problems the other two profiles have. When I open up IE to Google.com - I see the Google logo. The others don't.

I hadn't thought about upgrading to IE8 (only because I use my laptop with IE7 and I have software that's not compatible with the upgrade - so I don't think about it). I could try that.

I'll try your other suggestions first. How will "resetting" IE affect things like password saves, bookmarks, etc.?

 

Technically the software isn't installed on my laptop - I have several clients I work with and some of their software packages get messed up in different browsers, so I have to stay behind (also have to do this with Java) in order to get my work done.

Will have some fun today with the desktop. I'm wondering if I should try a different browser like Chrome, too.

 

Updated to IE, Updated Flash Player - all is well. (Decided to stick with IE rather than give my family a shock with a new view!)

Thanks!
