-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Browser will not show images or load style sheets

Hi Don.

I brought the machine in question back to my house for fixing, hooked it up
to my network - no problem at all.
It seems that this problem only occurs when it is using her AOL broadband
connection and not when hooked up to my cable connection by my router.

Could a faulty modem or dsl filter cause this problem?
I will inform them to report this to AOL and see what they say (not
expecting much!)

Regards 

Chris

I assume you have already performed all the relevant security software scans

in SAFE mode and cleaned all malware off your computer.

When you tried them, did you try them ALL at once or one at a time.  It 
could be a combination of things.

In your browser, change the settings for your TRUSTED zone to allow anything

and everything.

Rename your custom hosts file to hostsbak or other unrecognized variation.

Disable all real time security software that blocks ads, images etc.

Place a single website that you trust and have had this problem with, into 
your browser TRUSTED zone.

If that website displays OK then put half the stuff back the way it was.  If

it still displays OK, your problem is in the other half.  Put half of that 
stuff back and if it still displays then the problem is in the final 
portion.  Continue the half back process until the problem comes back.

If it does NOT display OK  then leave everything like that and reboot in 
SAFE mode.  If you access the internet via a network card choose safe mode 
with network support.  For a dial-up account you may need to load modem 
drivers.  Then repeat the above step.

If it STILL does not display properly, I would look somewhere other than on 
your computer.

A troubleshooters worst nightmare is a problem that is caused by a 
combination of two or more things... one in the first half and the other in 
the second half.  If it displays OK with only the first half loaded and 
displays OK with only the second half loaded but does not display OK with 
both halves loaded, you have such a nightmare.

Don
