Answer 2

Does your web browser have a (text only) menu option? If so, disable the (text only) option.

Wow wee its been many a moon since I heard of something like this. I used to use this web browser made by datastorm, bundled with Procomm Plus that a web browser that had a menu option to turn off graphics and display text only. This was way back when Gore’s internet was just starting to be popular. I think it was an option to make pages load faster for those who had slow analog modems.

Answer 3

Assuming you are using IE, go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Then find and check the "Show Pictures" option. It will be in the multimedia section.

You probably need to download and install the latest "Flash" Player and JAVA Runtime Environment. You can get the latest Flash Player at: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

Prolly because your security is set to high. Go into TOOLS and INTERNET OPTIONS in internet explorer and drop it down a few notches to see if it helps. ( if it doesn't then put it back)
