I have a wierd problem. I am sure its a firewall or antivirus problem but I don't know...when I go to NewEgg or some other site with pictures , all the pictures are Xed out like the pop up blocker has blocked them. I have tried changing the settings and disableing the blocker but still no go. Any ideas??

Try clearing cookies and temp internet files.

What browser and firewall are you using?

If you are using IE make sure the browser is set to display pictures in addition to the deleting mentioned above

1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then verify that the Show Pictures check box is selected under Multimedia.
3. Click OK.

Done all of the above..stranger still....ZipZoomFly all pictures of items show up by the text describing them.....NewEgg they do no there is a red x inside a field. I tried right clicking and selecting the "show picture" option but still no go. If its something one my system why not on ZipZoom as well?
Browser is IE firewall is disabled.

might be the picture format is different and requires something such as active x or java and you do not have it enabled.

wouldn't the site prompt me to install whatever I need to see the pics? Also some of the picts on NewEgg show up but most do not.

Download a different browser to see if the images are still blocked. If they aren't then you might want to search around for a specific answer to your problem. At this point I don't know if you're running IE 4 or IE 7, or God forbid IE 8 beta.

IE 7...just re-installed yesterday. I also updated JAVA to make sure it was OK. I will try the browser to see what up.

Firefox only partially fixed it. I removed IE7 reverting to IE6 but still the same problem only on newegg's site. I have e-mailed their webmaster for help. What is the technical term for them pics that go with a product listing .. Avatar??

Product pictures?

Avatars are usually forum/game user pictures.

This is about to really tick me off...... I have done EVERYTHING except un-install the OS. I have un-installed all the following.....Adobe, Quick Time, Java, all media software other than Windows Media player including any and all DVD/ music stuff. I have also followed Microsofts own directions to remove IE 7 and revert to IE6. Further I have ran scandisk and DX diag. I have re-installed DX. When all this offered no results I added back IE7 on a fresh install.

I have restored "factory" defaults on everything associated with the internet that I can including any and all "custome" stuff from my ISP. I e-mailed the webmaster at newegg and followed their instructions. With all the extra stuff removed the picture is still the same....ZipZoomFly is all A OK as is ALL other sites but not NewEgg no no no that site is $#^%$#%@#$ and nothing I do seems to make the least bit of difference. I can log in one min and see X in place of ever sinlge non alphabetic or numeric character ( anything with a background color is out) on the site then log out and back in to find 75% is fine but the other 25% still X's. I mean even the headers are messed up sometimes...you know the part where they put a catagory inside a yellow field( not a picture but a field).

I just don't understand how this is possible...ALL other sites are fine but NewEgg is FUBAR and it is variably FUBAR...real bad once not so much next. I have not been frequenting the site so I cannot say when this started.
