no pictures display on certain websites, just a little box

Some websites get into too many complex pictures or webpages(takes longer to load). Just retry the "refresh" button in order to reload the webpage again. Also, be sure under your browser options just what the "view/display" is set for. Don't be too generous on your end to accept everything out there, but if you trust the website, then be generous in allowing displays and how they get done ususlly via Javascript or ActiveX mode. Further, some AV pgms. can be aggressive and disallow such features even if set for use, see how under your AV what the setting/options are. There is no easy answer to your query but check those areas. On top of that, some websites just don't cut it well, they're lousy made.

Generally, you can try these options first...If you're using Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" in the upper left, choose "Internet Options", then click on the "Advanced" tab, then scroll to the "Multimedia" section, then place a CHECK mark in the "Show Pictures" box and UNCHECK the "Show image download placeholders", then click on "Apply". Next, click on "SEcurity" tab, then click once on the "Internet" icon (the world globe), then click on the "Default Level" button and choose "Yes/OK" when it asks "Are you sure?".

If that doesn't fix it, try Installing the most recent script engine and java for your computer using the steps below:

Click on the link to Sun's Java below, then click on the ''Download Windows J2SE JRE'' download link that is in the ''J2SE v 1.4.2_09 JRE includes the JVM technology'' section. At the next page, choose the "Windows OFFLINE platform" download link. (15.22 MB which will take quite a while on a dial-up connection if you're using dial-up.) Download the file to your desktop, scan it with your antivirus (just to be sure it's clean), then shut down all background programs, including your antivirus, then run the installer.

AFter that, download and install the updated Script engine from the appropriate link below:

Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, and Windows NT 4.0

After everything is installed, then open the Control Panel, double click on the ''Internet Options'' icon, then click on the ''Advanced'' tab. When that loads, scroll down to the ''Java(Sun)'' section and make sure there is a CHECK mark next to: ''Use Java,....''. Click on Apply, then Ok.

Hope this helps.

please give examples of 'certain websites'. That helps to find the cause, maybe.
