Internet Explorer won't load graphic

[Kenard]

Hello everyone.

Well, I've been trying to figure out how to get a certain graphic to load in IE8. The first pic is Internet Explorer 8 and the second is Firefox.

I was wondering if anyone knew of something that could be edited in the registry to get the graphic to show up in IE8. Thank you.

Hi

Welcome to Seven Forums
If you are on a network, there's not much that can be done unless you have a chat with your network admin.
Otherwise, have a look at the following:

1. From Internet Explorer 7, click the "Tools" button.

2. Select "Internet Options".

3. When the "Internet Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Advanced" tab.

4. Scroll down to "Multimedia" and check or uncheck "Show pictures" as desired. Refer to the below screenshot.

5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

NOTE that this option only disables picture viewing when pictures are referenced normally in the source webpage. Images loaded from scripts, Flash animations, Java applets, etc., may not be affected by this configuration option.

Hope this helps

Regards

Thanks a lot.

Well, I disabled that then enabled it again, but it didn't seem to work. I was wondering if you could go to that site on your IE just to see if it loads up for you, 'cause even on XP it wouldn't load the graphic.

Hello Kenard,

Welcome to SF! I went to that forum of yours using IE8 and the banner doesn't load except for Chrome and Firefox. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Something's wrong with that forum's banner when viewed using IE. :sarc:

 

[Lomai]

The website has quicktime content - do you have quicktime installed (can be installed by downloading and installing the current version of Quicktime, as applicable for your platform)?
Here's a snip of my IE page

I had Quicktime Alternative installed, but now I just installed the full version and it didn't show up on mines, still. It's amazing, you really know a lot about this technology. I never thought I'd see IE displaying the graphic. Anything else particular I could look for?

Hi, thanks. And thanks for the help.

Hi

Have a look at the following link:

Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

Be sure to read through the article carefully - right at the end there's a link to download Quicktime only (without the full itunes package).
In case you miss it, here is the link - make sure you do not select Quicktime with iTunes

When installing (or reinstalling) make sure that you define (enable) the proper plug-ins for IE - refer to Figure 7 in the following link

QuickTime: How to Install on Windows (It's an old article but gives you an idea on the process and what you need to look out for)

Check also the following - Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista and Windows 7

Hope this helps and keep us posted

Regards

Thanks for this advice. I read everything, followed the instructions, and it seems to be installed; the problem is still there though.

I wonder where I went wrong. All this time even before I got 7, it was like that on XP too, even after doing new installations through the months.

In IE go to >Tools>Manage Addons> Check if QT is enabled - have a look at the attached

Keep us posted and regards

Edit

What anti-virus or internet security software/firewall a do you have installed? Is there some possibility that you have disallowed Quicktime using your firewall or security software?

 

[Kenard]

I use AVG and Microsoft Malicious Software Removal tool to scan the PC, but AVG I only install when I scan, I uninstall when not using. My firewall is just the Microsoft one. I checked for the Quicktime program, but didn't see it, and couldn't manually add it either.

I also checked the Quicktime trailers to see if I could watch one, too and was able to.

Woorks for me in IE8

 

[Kenard]

Wow, that's amazing. Anything particular you did with your internet settings? Or maybe it could just be my hardware? It is kind of old.

Well, thanks for showing me the pic, I just don't have a clue what's going on.

Wow, that's amazing. Anything particular you did with your internet settings? ...I just don't have a clue what's going on.

I operate IE8 with these off: Protected Mode, Pop-up Blocker, SmartScreen Filter. Internet security not too high; "show pictures" enabled. Also, when I right click on the picture to look at the properties it says "QuickTime Plugin 7.6.6"

 

[Kenard]

This is really strange. I tried everything you suggested, I also disabled my firewall for a second, restarted the browser and the image still won't load for me.

Well, I really appreciate all of this help, but I think I will give up now, 'cause I don't want to keep bothering you all about this for too long. I thought that I knew enough to at least configure IE right, it's been around for so long. Thanks.

How about resetting your IE to default state and then working your way back from there?
Go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced Tab>Reset button at the lower part of the window

...I tried everything you suggested...the image still won't load for me...

I have another computer with IE8 setup the same except that it doesn't have Quicktime and doesn't display the picture. So I suspect Quicktime is needed. You might check that Quicktime is listed in "Programs and Features" and that it's enabled in IE8's "Manage Add-ons" window under "all addons". Also, under "Default Programs/Associate File type..." you could make sure the Quicktime filetypes (like .mov, .qt, .pict...) are set as default=Quicktime Player or Picture Viewer.

If everything seems fine from the above inspections you could reset IE (tools/internet options/advanced/reset...) but since that also disables add-ons you may have to re-enable them later. (Also, within "Programs and Features" there is an option to do a repair of the Quicktime program install. If all else fails you could uninstall it and reinstall it.)

I would like to thank you, Lomai and roncerr for all of the help. Here's what happened. Each time I did a new installation (starting with XP) in the past, I would always use the Quicktime Alternative. I would have never known that I actually needed the full version, so I never installed it as the first option. Here's the tricky part though.

If you uninstall Quicktime Alternative to install the full Quicktime you can do it and it will seem like it's installed, but it will not work properly. What I had to do was show hidden files and folders then find all folders of Quicktime and Apple. After I deleted all of that, I installed the full Quicktime, now it finally works.

Thanks a whole bunch, it's solved now thanks to you guys, and I really appreciate all of the help. I will fix my XP too.

Thanks.

 

[Francis93]

Oh well, let's say websites nowadays require the QuickTime plugin. So installing QuickTime would be very useful. I just hate the bloatware and other unnecessary crap that comes with it.

 

[Kenard]

Yeah, and the player that's bundled with it along with the picture viewer is really kind of too much for a single-core to handle.
