Howdy,

For the past several months or so, I’ve been having problems viewing cnet.com & zdnet.com respectively. Most of the graphic images imbedded on those sites appear as those dreadful white boxes with a red X. Most of the aforementioned graphics are ads or ad-related, so I don’t mind not being able to see them. However, I can’t even see the navigation bars at those sites.

I’ve tried everything and can’t seem to find a solution to this problem. It’s only those two websites that aren’t displaying properly, and I visit thousands of different sites a month! What is it about those two sites, and those two sites alone, that’s preventing me from viewing them properly? I’ve tried the following with no results:

Scanned for Spyware w/ Ad Aware 6.1 & latest DAT files – None Found
Scanned for Viruses w/ Norton 2004 – None Found
In IE6 went to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Multimedia to ensure that “Display Pictures” was checked – It was checked

I’m out of ideas. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
