Hi David,
In answer to your questions, I inserted the files using the insert option on
Publisher and they are all either jpeg or gif files, I never used copy and
paste.
Yes I did try the IE7>Tools etc and unchecked the 'show image download
placeholders, but with no joy.
Yes I have downloaded quite a few updates recently, but only what have been
sent from MSFT after rebooting the computer in February, which also solved
the problem back then. BUT..........

Something strange happened today, after the computer had downloaded some
'updates' I lost IE7 altogether and was reverted back to IE6 and guess what,
I could see my site perfectly. The only problem was the IE6 was unstable in
other areas, like I could not contact you and let you know.
I have just finished reloading IE7 and I can still see my site, so does this
mean the problem lies with IE7?
I know for sure I will not be building a site for anyone else.
Dawn

And one more question. Did you try my suggestion to open IE7 > Tools >
Internet Options > Advanced and under Multimedia make sure that "show
pictures" was checked, and that "Show image download placeholders" was not
checked?

Dawn,

It does sound like the problem is with either IE7 or one of the "critical"
patches that you automatically downloaded and installed. There are now
several threads on this subject, but no clarity on what is causing it. You
have the dubious honor of being the first to describe a patch that rolled
you back to IE6. Perhaps MSFT has issued a patch to fix something another
patch broke. If you continue to have problems previewing your site, you can
uninstall IE7 via add and remove, and you will get IE6 back. Eventually MSFT
or we will find the fix, but for now it just seems that IE7 is a bit buggy.

Hi David,
It's happened again so I'm taking your advice and uninstalling IE7. I do
hope things get better with IE7 because in most other respects it is bett.
Anyway, thanks for your help

Dawn, David,

My experience with IE7 was when I did a reinstall of windows XP Pro
immediately followed it with an install of IE7 then all of my programs, IE7
could not be removed without making all of the programs unusable. I don't
know what would happen if a program is installed after installing IE7 and
then attempt to uninstall IE7. Would that last program run or not?

Dawn,

I posted a question to the IE newsgroup about the issues with IE7, and this
is the response:

"the user *may* have had a "horked" (dirty/incomplete) install of IE7.

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx as the installation source,
not Automatic/Windows Update.]

I can't tell if this is helpful or not, but a clean reinstall of IE7 might
help in your case...

Good question Don. I don't know.

I got a response to the issue about IE7, that I just posted to Dawn. I
haven't had a chance to read through all the links provided. Maybe the
answer to your question would be there?
