Only part of images read on Internet

When using Internet Explorer 6x Windows XP Pro it only reads a portion of the images on Internet. Been working OK started this lately. I have tried many things but not the right fix. Any advice on this will be appreciated.

 

Have you tried deleting all your temporary internet files including all offline content?

jazcan,
Yes I have deleted tempoary, offline & history files several times all in vain. Thank You for the advice. At times when I go to any page I get a cannot connect. I am beginning to wonder if it is my ISP, I have Charter cabel. I have looked & expriminted with my settings which made no difference. What is your thought on this?

 

Make sure you have installed all the windows updates.
Make sure show pictures is checked in your internet options.
Also, make sure IE is set as your default browser- I used to have the problem with images when I was also using netscape. I set IE as my default and the problem went away.

What is the exact message (cannot connect?) that you are getting when you try to access certain webpages? It could very well be your cable connection but I'm on dial-up and can't
really help you there. I know that sometimes I dial-up and get a "page cannot be displayed" error on every page I try to access. Usually just closing IE disconnecting and then re-opening IE solves that problem.

 

I have had this problem ever since I up ( actually, down ) graded from IE 5.5 SP2 to 6.0. Also, half the pages say they cannot be displayed and my connection speed is almost down to half what it was. I've unisnstalled IE one version at a time clear back to the 4.0 I started with and reinstalled IE 5.5 SP2 plus ( since that didn't help ) MS's latest patches and nothing has been fixed. Starting out with one of the earliest versions of 98, I have fixed many, many problems just by scouring help boards but this one has me baffled. I've tried every reasonable suggestion I've seen on boards and the MS site. Would really appreciate hearing about any new suggestions. The version of 98 I have is way to buggy to consider reinstalling it and I have tons of downloaded programs that I no longer have the installers for ( I always keep them now ) besides all the tons of personal settings that I would lose. Thanks in advance for any new advice!

 

Are you using a firewall? If so, that may be causing the problem.
Are you accessing the sites by typing them in the address bar or by selecting them from your favorites? I've seen several people having this problem when accessing sites from their favorites list.
What are your security set to in IE?-
You could try downloading and running Spybot or Ad-Aware- maybe there's some nasty spyware giving you problems.
Are you using dial-up or cable connection?
Unfortunately it is one of those problems that's hard to pinpoint.
I occassionally get the "this page cannot be displayed" error. Sometimes the server is actually down and other times I just close IE, disconnect, and then reconnect and the problem is gone.

 

Problems with IE * Images

Jazcan,
I have McAfee Firewall, Ghost Surf pop up eliminator, tried disabling both with NO CHANGE. Web pages are ones I access most every day I have been for some time with NO PROBLEMS, have desktop icon shortcuts to most. I have Charter cable ISP tried turn off for a bit then back on with NO CHANGE. It is on line when computer is on. Please see other post today on this. I have Add-aware & Spy-bot & have used both recently.

 

Only portion of images show when useing IE

Jazcan & BVN,
Thank you for your advice on this problem. At times ANY web page I go to says CAN NOT CONNECT WITH SERVER, pictures will not upload to church webpage, only part of images read, 365 audio player malfunctions. I have learned Jazcan since last post I can turn cable server off for a bit & then back on made NO improvement. Here is something I have done this BVN. Turned computer off for a short then back on & problems solved temporally. I believe this it is NOT in the ISP but in the Windows XP. Here is something else I have done that is interesting & I believe shows it probably is in the XP. I have old computer which has Windows 98 & IE 6 & Outlook 6 which I hooked up this week. Same ISP, monitor, web pages with NO PROBLEMS.
What got me scratching my head is @ first NO problems & then problems developed later I am beginning to wonder if the problems might not lie in the Windows Updates
In new computer running Windows XP Pro, P4 1.8, 525 RAM, hard drive 55.9 GB free 46.2 GB

 

Now that I finally figured out how to get back on here. I always delete cookies and temp IE files every time I shut down - guess they wanted the cookie. Thanks for the responses.
Jazcan - Have tried turning off Zone Alarm and run Ad-Aware all the time. Use favorites but most windows are opened by linking from them. I often have many windows open at a time though that doesn't seem to matter regarding the problem. I tried pasting addresses in with no change. I am on dial-up, security settings are default.
Nickhm - I've also found that my access is fine for around 30 minutes after first turning on my machine. However, since I'm running 98 and this problem definitely started after installing IE and Outlook 6.0 ( and nothing else ) I gotta believe it's a .dll in there or something that it did. Interesting to find out that you have the problem on XP. I'd be interested in knowing if the versions and updates to 6.0 are exactly the same on your XP and the 98 that you tried without the problem.
Thanks again!

Thanks Nickhm,

Here we were trying to help you and you came across the solution through other means. I knew how to repair IE6 in windows 98se but I thought it was more complicated for XP.
Glad to hear everything is working well! There are several other threads regarding IE6 in winxp so hopefully this solution will help others out there having problems too.
