Internet Explorer issue

[ddollevoet]

I have used IE for years and have never had a problem until the last few days.

I can't see pictures, not all pictures, some pictures, and the problem occurs intermittently.

For example, in this thread, I can see her picture sometimes, but not others. Also, if I am browsing around ebay, I can see the small picture at the top. The larger pictures at the bottom of the listing do not show up. If I go to uselessjunk.com, I see no pictures.

I am not getting a red X. I see nothing. A blank space. What is weird is that banner ads still show up.

I went to my preferences and "show pictures" is checked.

I ran a virus scan and found nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
