Not Photos on Cnet site w/Firefox or IE6 screwy text

by jwpw Dec 8, 2006 1:31AM PST

Using Firefox 1.5.0.8 for default browser with XP Pro. I have been unable to receive Cnet's site with photos and the proper text on Firefox or IE6 - and, my email on MS Outlook is the same way, too.

The text is all similar (don't know what font it is) and is all washed out - it is bearly legible.

Any help? Thanks.

Several initial thoughts...

1.) What security and/or privacy software do you use? It could be that the software is stripping code from the website and blocking the images.
2.) Are you behind a router? (Same reason.)
3.) Have you checked your HOSTS file? It could be set to block various cnet-related sites including com.com.
4.) Check your Fonts folder through the Control Panel and see if you are suddenly missing the defaults.

Let us know.
