Title: can't figure out why no web backgrounds show up
Post by: amylynne on December 15, 2006, 06:31

I have a friend who has XP  and for some reason she isn't able to view any web backgrounds on any website.  We've searched and searched to find what the problem is or could be but haven't had any luck..if anyone could help shed some light on this problem we'd appreciate it greatly!  Thanks. :santa:

Hi Amylynne,

This sounds quite strange.  Can she view other images on web pages?  I can only guess that it could be a browser setting.  Is she using Internet Explorer, or a proper browser, such as Firefox?

Try disabling the firewall and see if the pages display correctly with it disabled, if they show ok then re enable it and look in the firewall settings to see if theres something partially blocking the pages.

Hi amylynne amd  :welcome:

Are you using IE7?

If you click on View on the taskbar there is basic view page style and no style page view. You should be on basic style page view. :santa:

Glad it's sorted, Amylynne.  Give Firefox a couple of hours use, and you'll never got back to IE.  ;)   :xmas:
