Why don't pictures show when I visit websites? I PUT THE SHOW PICTURES ON BUT IT STILL DOESNT WORK

I Heve been into Internet Options then Advanced and clicked on the box next to Show Pictures but still nothing happens?

Problems with MySpace...

Get a free website, and upload your pictures to that, then link to them your profile. The reason you see red crosses is because MySpace is shit and is always getting hacked and DDoS'd. It probably loses your images, or if you link to Photobucket or ImageShack, they delete old photos to save bandwidth. Get a free website and host your own. I recommend www.phpnet.us

Leo, I had a problem viewing photos at www.AutoTrader.com. All I got in the ads were the little boxes with red "xs" and spent two days trying to resolve the problem. Here's what fixed it for me:

> Click on the "Start" Button
> Click the "Run" option
> Type "cmd" to get into the command mode
> At the DOS prompt type in the following line (without the quotes...)
> "ipconfig /flushdns"

If the server you are connecting to on the other end has changed their file locations, or anything that affects domain name serving, you are probably still using the old address stored on your local computer. The flushdns command rids your local computer of dns information and forces it to go out and get the new, updated stuff!

This is what fixed my problem today! Wow! What a relief!
