um... this is odd... suddenly, my parents computer is
having a hard time loading most images.

I right click, and click on "show picture" and nothing
works.

I then right click and go to "properties" and it says the
pictures are "-1 kb"

wtf?

even the graphics on my own webpage wont load. like the
background images etc. its all just text.

anyone know whats causeing this/how to fix it?

thanks!

doing a system restore wont make a mess of other things will
it? like god knows what. just as long as my parents dont go
"hey what the hell happened to [insert whatever]?!?!"

nothingness...

The net's being quite slow too, but it's hard to tell if
it's that or not cause there's quite a few restrictions on
our pc's

I'll have a scout arond and see what I can find

Have you tried..

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > (Scroll down to
Multimedia) > Make sure there is a tick in the "Show Images"
box.

This would be the first thing I would look for.
