Hi Lode :-)

Thanks. Problem solved. I clicked on my Juno "speedband" and there was an
adjustment for download speed/picture quality. Pictures now download slower
but sharper. Thanks again for your ideas. Dell support was going to have me
go through an elaborate repair process for IE 6. Have a great week.

You're very welcome!  Ya just gotta love those little hidden toys! ;o)

Glad to hear you were able to resolve your problem. Good job!

Thank you for posting back and letting us know what worked for you, and for
the benefit of other readers who might have a similar problem.  :-)

Thanks- I will try these. The images are not fuzzy; they look "digital" -
mulitple rectangular images which disappear when I right click full image
quality. I am using IE 6 and Windows XP home edition. The computer with which
I have the problem - I use Juno to access the net via dial-up. It is supposed
to download faster than standard Juno.
