Computer help forum: Problems with Loading Pictures on Internet Explorer

I tried the steps in the link provided. I didn't have any problems reading emails in html format. However, the same problem for internet explorer still persists.

Go to Start | Run and type this command
regsvr32 /i shdoc401.dll After a bit
it should come back with a message that the DLL was registered.

If that doesn't fix it, and it probably won't, open regedit.exe and navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg (note the dot before jpg)
For Content Type is, it should say "image/jpeg"

Same for .jpe and .jpeg

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif
For Content Type is, it should say "image/gif
Also, check [HKEY CLASSES ROOT\.gif]
"Content Type"="image/gif"

[HKEY CLASSES ROOT\.jpg]
"Content Type"="image/jpeg"

[HKEY CLASSES ROOT\.jpeg]
"Content Type"="image/jpeg"

(and so on)

It turns out when I had this problem, my content type for both .gif and .jpg were listed as "image/bmp".I changed these to "image/gif" and "image/jpeg", respectively - and that fixed it!!See if this works for you.

When you started having the problem with the blocked pix, had you recently installed a pop up blocker or web accelerator with pop up blocking?? We had installed an accelerator on our computer with the blocker turned on and gor the red X's you describe.
You might check on this.

Well, I have tried everyones suggestions and still no luck with the pix. Grif, all of my settings were just as you advised. It's annoying but its only usually a joke so that is not like I am missing out on something important. Thanks for all the advice

sometimes, z very simple solution will work, as it did for me.
Tools-internet options-Advanced---under multimedia check the show pitures option.
zat's it, i found it from MS support site.
