Had to have a virus cleaned off this computer a couple weeks ago. Now, some websites, like this one, won't display all the logos, buttons, etc. Have tried all the settings I can find under tools, but haven't found anything that works. Everything under multimedia in advanced settings except "Show Image Download Placeholders" is checked. When I right click on the boxes I see and select Show Picture, nothing happens. Trying to pay some bills, but it's hard to do when some of the buttons don't show up. Any ideas?
Mail them a check.;-)
I assume theres a smiley face after that, but I can't see it.
Yes, and it's winking at you.
Do you have CCleaner or spybot? If not you can download a free version and run. This happened to me before and I think it was CCleaner that fixed the prob.
Malwarebytes is an excellent program that cleans up many issues. This, with CCleaner really work well. The CCleaner designer also has an excellent recovery program called Recuva. After reuva-ing a drawing I accidentally erased (saving about 6 hour of work), I made a donation to them, and continue to do so for some of the free programs I use.
Try Malwarebytes.

Try uninstalling your browser and reinstalling. I've had conflicts with buttons as well, and found a reinstall of Firefox fixed it. I'm pretty sure I did it to myself, as was attempting to remove all vestiges of a well known antivirus software. I suspect I went a .dll too far and corrupted the operating parameters.
Tried CCleaner and malwarebytes, still no pics or buttons. May have to get the PC Doctor back on it tomorrow.
I've been trying to write a complete set of articles on PC maintenance and fortunately, the most critical ones have already been written:
In your particular case, check out the Malwarebytes and CCleaner articles. 🙂 <--- a text smiley so you can see it

Read the articles, downloaded both softwares, ran a full scan, still no pics. i.e. on this reply page, in the upper left I can only see a box and red X with the "Beer Leg...." text, and the buttons in the upper right are just boxes and with an x in them. I can see the buttons with text to the right of this box, lower ones just an x. Right click doesn't do anything.
I can see your avatars in the responses.
I'm guessing a setting somewhere, just can't find it.. Any ideas?
What web browser are you using?
See if this page adresses the problem -
Or try this page for information -

I had a similar issue in the past and it was due to antivirus software I had installed. I had to set some level of permission in the antivirus software to deal with the problem, but I don't recall the specifics of what I did.
IE 8.0.6xxxx
Have you a restore point?
Musta been a bad on...good luck.
Maybe some of these [msg=72622]tips[/msg] will head you in the right direction?
Thought maybe that was it, but still doesn't work. Clicking on properties on the buttons shows they seem to all be .png files.
The post from John Payne with the link to Microsoft is the one I would try. But honestly, the biggest problem you will continue to face is the multitude of viruses that are written to take advantage of problems with Internet Explorer. I highly, highly recommend you download and try Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome and use these are your primary web browsers.

there's some kinda security level setting about whether IE will load graphics from domains other than the page you're looking at.
Ditto that.
