This behavior can occur if one of the following conditions is true:

The Web page includes an image type that is not supported by Internet Explorer.

The Show Pictures check box is not selected on the Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog box in Internet Explorer, or the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory was used to disable images in Internet Explorer

by the way does this happen on all websites or some ?

Here`s your diagnostics, should work if not let us hear

Have experience this problem before and use below to solve it

Method 1: See whether pictures are available on another Web site
Sometimes the link to a picture on a Web site is broken, and that is why a picture is not being displayed. Visit another Web site to determine whether pictures are being displayed correctly on it. If they are being displayed correctly, then there is nothing wrong with Internet Explorer. Instead, the Web site that you are visiting might be broken.

If you can view pictures on another Web site, you are finished. If you do not see any pictures or if you cannot determine whether the Web site that you are visiting is broken, try clearing your temporary Internet files by using method 2.

Note If you use Internet Explorer 8, try Compatibility View. To do this, start Internet Explorer 8, click Compatibility View Settings on the Tools menu, and then add the Web site that you want to view by using Compatibility View.
Method 2: Clear temporary Internet files
Clearing your temporary Internet files creates more space on your hard disk. If your hard disk is close to being full, this could affect your ability to view pictures on a Web site.

To clear temporary Internet files, follow these steps:

Internet Explorer 8
Start Internet Explorer 8.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Delete under Browsing History.
In the Delete Browsing History dialog box, click to clear all of the check boxes except for the Temporary Internet Files check box, and then click Delete.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.

Internet Explorer 7
Start Internet Explorer 7.
On the Tools menu, click Delete Browsing History.
In the Delete Browsing History dialog box, click Delete Files.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
Internet Explorer 6 and earlier versions
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Delete Files under Temporary Internet files.
Click to select the Delete all offline content check box, and then click OK.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
Check whether you can now see pictures. If you still cannot see pictures, try method 3.

Method 3: Verify that the Show Pictures option has not been turned off
If the Show Pictures option in Internet Explorer is turned off, you cannot see pictures. To determine whether the Show Pictures option is turned off, follow these steps:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab, and then verify that the Show Pictures check box is selected under Multimedia.
Click OK.
Determine whether you can now see pictures. If you still cannot see pictures, try method 4.

Method 4: Enable scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, and Java programs
Enable scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, and Java programs to make sure that your computer is set up to enable Web pages to run the way that they were designed to.

To do this, follow these steps:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab, and then click Default Level (if it is available) for the zone that contains the Web page (for example, the Internet zone).
If you are using Internet Explorer 6, click the Privacy tab, and then click Default (if it is available).

Have you tried what I recommend ?

Just a thought, Are you viewing on a LCD Flat Screen, LCD tv? Could it be that the resolution set, is not the correct one for it
or the laptop is utilising is own screen

hello hotteju, would like to add you to my messenger list if you dont mind. mine is dejisunday@hotmal.com or dejiandbusayo@yahoo.co.uk, take care

Change the level to picture level from ur starcomms iboost by right clicking the icon on ur taskbar, that wud do perfectly.

you might be using onspeed, or any internet anonymizer, or booster, check the settings of any of the boosters,

Its definitely the iboost. . . It compresses images. . . .wassup hotteju??
