Re: Some images displayed while others are not .....Help!

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi storm :-)

Thank you for the update and the link. The folks at the forums are very
busy, as you can imagine, and they may take a day or more to get to you, so
please be patient. If there is anything ugly causing the problem that may
not have been found by these other programs, then I am sure they will be
able to help you find it and get rid of it. You may have a Trojan or other
more malicious variant and it will take a different type of program to
remove it. So, let's see what they come up with and recommend.

Hope this helps.
