Browser Problem - Graphics display gone

Browser IE9 and Firefox12 lost their ability to display webpage graphics while google chrome displays OK. (see screenshoot attachments)

Steps I have taken:

1) Attempted Internet Explorer reset Fix it http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9646978

2) Uninstalled and reinstalled IE.

Neither worked....

Created a new User Account which fixed the problem when using the new account.

Any sugestions as to fix the problem on the original user account?

Thanks!

A Guy;

Thanks for your response. I had applied SR when the problem first developed and it failed to correct the problem.

As for your second suggestion, the Default File Type Association utility. Definitely an excellent resource for future use, but it did not resolve my current problem.

I have also tried ie8 and had the same result.


In narrowing down the problem, you are correct that it is not so much a missing image problem. It is also that some of the remaining underlying "links" do not display correctly or not at all.

It appears to be displaying the html page in text mode. The attachments represent one of the better examples. The webpage displays correctly on my other WIN 7 machine using the IE9 browser.


Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

Background theme is the standard aero. Ran the Aero troubleshoot utility and no problems were reported.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that the problem is in the "admin" user account and not in the "standard" user account.

I have an adminstrator account and a standard account. In the standard account, all webpages display corrrectly. In the admin account, the the web pages display missing graphics.

Same behavior repeated while in safe mode.

I compared the IE9 internet settings on the troubled machine with those of another win 7 system. No difference other than one displays correctly and the other does not....



I deleted JAVA, downloaded the installation package and reinstalled. The problem still persists.

A Guy:

The fix was going to Win 7 x64 "ease of access Center" and click on "Make the computer easier to see" option. UNCHECK the three box choices under "Choose a high contrast theme".

If the first box is checked, the keyboard combination for turning HIGH CONTRAST on and off is left ALT + left SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN.

You were correct that the problem may have been theme related.

I was able to find the exact description of the problem and the fix at IE and Firefox missing background/layout graphics on website .

Thanks for your help!

Thank you Ejay!

In fact, my situation and steps =
- Old GPU, so No Areo
- Contrast Off didn't solve
- Adding an Admin User: problem Solved
