Re: Images stop downloading

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We found the fix for this problem. The Resoluction was to install sp1 and
the hotfix KB817177. Now, we want to know what cause this problem,
because we have 120 stores and perharse 70% have IE 6.0 without SP1.

The fix would be to have the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE installed on all the machines. It installs a version of MSHTML.DLL which supersedes the one 817177 gives you and can be obtained at Windows Update. While you're there, install any other critical updates offered, too.

Hi there!

I have the same problem. For the last week, the pcs in yours stores start
to reporting that they can not access the intranet / internet, but only
the pc with IE 6.0.

The issue is  this. For some reason, only in the last week, was the bug
"working". We have sure that two week ago all was ok. There was any
change in the pcs, so it is very strange.

We have one server that have IE 6.0 and the same problem exists, so we are
thinking that the problem persist on the network.

Any ideia
