I Need Serious Help With Internet Explorer!

[E-squirrel]

Hey guys,
I am in dieing need of some help here. For the past year or so my Internet Explorer has been very stupid. SO MANY pictures come up as X's, and a lot of fonts don't display properly! I update my windows, I update my IE, I have no spyware or viruses, but my internet explorer just won't display things properly. Here is a screenshot of what comes up when I try to visit GameSpot.com (Popular Gaming Site). I tried calling Dell, My PC manufacturing company, but I always get some habeeb Jabar foreigners who are so stupid. I can't take this anymore! PLEASE someone help me!!

Does anyone know a good Image Uploader site that actually works?

Don't use IE. There are plenty of better alternatives, like Firefox, Mozilla, MyIE2, Netscape, Galeon, Opera, Konqueror, Nautilius, Epiphany, Links, Dillo, Encompass, Lynx, and yes, even Telnet.

All computer GEEKS PLEASE CLICK HERE!!!

Don't think you'll get much help with that...

Use another browser.

Mozilla and Mozilla Fire Fox
MyIE2 is my choice. It works on the IE core and supports like a million plug-ins.
MyIE2 Plug-ins is a good place to start with plug-ins.

I tried mozilla and it was no help. I was wondering if somehow my computer was blocking certain websites from displaying images? someone's gotta know what to do here...

check your hosts file in c:/windows

or where ever you installed windows

It might be in system32 but im not sure...havent been on windows in a while

[Xero Grid]

Yeah, it could be the HOSTS file. Here are the locations:

Windows XP Home = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K/XP Pro = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98\ME = C:\WINDOWS

Just open it with notepad and clear it except for "127.0.0.1 localhost"
This is really important.

If you have a 3rd part firewall like zonealram,sometimes they will block some images, if you have one try disabling it then see if the pictures come up then turn your firewall back on and youll know if its the problem.
