I am having a problem with Internet Explorer 6.0. When I go to websites I do not get the pictures. I get the little rectangle with the red X. So far from what I have figured out it deals with the encoding. I go to view then encoding and pick WesternEuropean (windows) it refreshes and I get the pictures. My problem is that I do not know how to get it to stay. If I refresh again the pictures disappear again and I have to go through the encoding again.

Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to say that it keeps defaulting to the encoding Wester European (ISO)

go to tools, internet options, advanced, multimedia section, and check the display pictures box

It isn't the encoding per se, as I have IE6 with western european (ISO) as the default and have no problems viewing images. One early version of IE6 did have a bug, and the only fix was to go back to IE5.5, but the newer IE6 (6.0.26) has no problems.

Do you have Norton Personal Firewall? If so, here's the problem.

Or other Norton products?

(remove spaces from URLs)

Also, check your registry. (back it up before changing it!!)
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp]
Content Type = image/bmp
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif]
Content Type = image/gif
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg]
Content Type = image/jpeg
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg]
Content Type = image/jpeg

Make sure those are there.

Lastly, check this out.

It's other causes for that problem.

Good luck!

I have figured out that it is not an issue with a firewall. I have 2 systems set up that go through same firewall, one gets the pics and the other does not. I have figured out that the site is the one that pics WESTERN EUROPEAN (WINDOWS), UNICODE (UTF8) OR WESTERN EUROPEAN (ISO). The only thing that I know is that when I force it to use western european (windows) it gives me the pictures.
