Ever since I installed Internet Explorer 6, I have been encountering display problems and run-time errors. Most of the time the web page display is missing pictures and graphics.

any idea?

thanks

Hi again Gilles,

First go to Tools, Options in IE and then go to the last tab page marked Advanced and scroll down until you see the option to Show Pictures and make sure that it's checked. I have sometimes seen that upgrading resets these settings and pictures need to be re-enabled.

Second would be to check Windows Update for any updates to IE6 now that you've upgraded (I know there were several patches for this in the last several months).
Most of the updates had to do with security issues, so it's a good idea to install them even if the first thing fixes your problem.
Hope this helps.

I have done as you suggested, but the problem persists. Friday, everything seemed to work fine, today, the display problems have returned.

Any other suggestion?

thanks for your help,

Hi Gilles, I got your message. You can also try this fix that seems to work for more than just the problem described in the article:

I have used the DevBMP=0 fix before to wonderful results, it'sworth a try if the registry edits I gave you are not working. See your e-mail...
Lizzy :-)
