Need computer settings help!

[78USN98]

My computer crashed! And it is about to be hauled out and shot! Anyways, as I go to CALGUNS for all my shooting needs I see that there is also a real good tech area here too.
I got my computer all reloaded but none of the pictures in the threads come up. Just get the little box with the red X in it. All the avatars are there and any other pics not in threads come up. I also don't get thread pics in other sites such as Rimfire Central, Ruger forumm etc.. That makes me think it is a computer setting somewhere and I know it is probably a real simple fix!
Can anyone here give me a hand?

While I am not a windows guy (assuming that's what your using) this may help:


Give the steps below a try.

1. Install the newest version of Java using the instructions below. Java applets frequently are used to open pictures.:

Click on the link to Sun's Java below, then scroll down to the ''Java Platform Standard Edition JDK 6 Update 29 (JDK or JRE)'' section (YOU DON'T WANT the Java 7 download), then click on the "Download JRE" button. Follow the prompts, select the Windows platform and the "Language", if necessary, accept the license agreement, click the "Continue" button, then download the full ''Windows OFFLINE Installation'' file to your desktop,(about 15 MB), scan it with your antivirus (just to be sure it's clean). Once that's done, if you've already got a Sun Java version on the computer, open the Control Panel, double click on the ''Programs & Features'' section, then uninstall all previous versions of the J2SE Java listed there. Once that's done, then install Java JRE 6u29 from the downloaded installer.

2. Make sure you're internet explorer settings are "allowing" those pictures to be shown, like this:

Open the Control Panel, then the Internet Options icon, then the "Advanced" tab. Once there, scroll to the "Multimedia" section and make sure "Show Pictures" is CHECKED and the "Show image download placeholders" is UNCHECKED..

Hope this helps.

What browser are you using? If you're using Internet Explorer, press Alt-T and select Internet options. Click the "Delete..." button under Browser history. Make sure the checkbox "Temporary Internet files" is checked, then click Delete.

If the above does not work, try this:
