I can't view pictures...just get a rectangle with shapes in it. Any ideas

I have a system that keeps getting the "Show Pictures" setting turned off. I go in and set it, and everything is fine during that session, but after a logoff or reboot, the setting is gone and has to be turned on again. System is clean for malware, as far as I can tell. Any ideas?

THANK YOU! I finally got to view the pictures on my internet explorer!! I don't know how it happened but I'm glad it is back to normal thanks to you! It was very easy to fix with your instructions. PLUS, before I wasn't able to see emoticons on my messenger...now I can...makes it more fun...lol. Thanks again!

I'm having the same problem as JW on 1-30, can you help?

this was a big help, i had some virus issues and when i solved them my pics wouldn't show when using the internet. now it works. thanks!!!

I am setup through yahoo/firefox. Advertising sites I have been on are fine except one no pics. I tried internet explorer and can see the pics but will not let me download pics for ads. If I can just get the pics on the yahoo/firefox it would be okay I don't need to use both. New to computers so know little!

I tried the above, but everything you suggested was already checked. I don't have any content filtering software installed that I know of. The websites that give me the most problems are Amazon and Target. Even my IT guy doesn't know why and he knows everything! Any more suggestions?

This was of great help..thank you...after searching through many websites i came to this one and finally got rid of the red boxes. YAY! Now my explorer works fine. I only had to disable my ad blocker in my VERIZON SUITE..

everytime i go on myspace some pictures come up but some dont. they are not red x's or nothing. they just dont come up. and it's only on myspace. all the other social websites the pictures. i have tried everything bit nothing is working. and i heard that you are the only guy who can solve problems like these. i also heard that you were the best. so can you please help me. im begging you. please and thank you.

What you wrote above still doesn't solve my problem
