I can open *.png files with NS and Opera, no problem there.
I updated Internet Explorer from version 5 to 6 (I couldnt open *.png files with 5 either).
Everything is up to date, any ideas what to do?

TIA,

The PNG graphic format isn't widely supported in browsers atm.

Try getting SP1 for ie6.
Or, a reasonably advanced graphic editor, i.e. Fireworks, Photoshop etc.

What, exactly, happens when you try to open a *.png file with ie6?

This is one of the *many* reasons why I scrapped IE and got opera and k-meleon. IE sucks for png support use a different browser if possible.
