On a machine running XP Pro w/SP2, I see no images in the banner.
The same page on a non-SP2 (HE) machine, images appear fine.

Any ideas?

Ian

P.S. I should mention this is on the dgrin pages.

    We have only had one other person reoport problems, and they were using IE with multiple firewalls and/or ad blocking software installed. Try disabling everythign that is running in your system tray near the clock and revisiting.

    by default SP2 locks down everything. Check your IE security settings and that should fix things for you.

    I've duked it out with SP2 before.

    Disabling the firewall didn't help...but I don't understand why this would
    affect a page since I assume these are image links just like those imbedded
    in a post?

    I am not positive what was used to code the rotation of the images. it may be java, or something else. SP2 might have blocked this by default. Check it out.

    Hmm. Turning it off doesn't "fix" it.

    I should add that the other machine is behind the same fw and it works
    (though is not sp2--but this didn't start happening until after the sp2 install).

    Ian,

    In your browser, look in the top menu for Tools.

    Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level.

    When in Custom Level, look for:
    .
    .
    .
    Java
    Java Permissions
    ( ) Custom
    ( ) Disable Java
    (*) High safety
    ( ) Low safety
    ( ) Medium safety
    .
    .
    .
    Scripting of Java applets
    ( ) Disable
    (*) Enable
    ( ) Prompt


    If Java is what is used for the banners, and SP2 turns it off by default, then that could be the problem.

    I think they use some sort of java script for the image rotation. Make sure you have the latest version installed. If you do, you know the routine. Uninstall - Reinstall.

    Yeah. That's the windows answer for every problem :)

    For *NIX, it's "reboot" :D

    Its real nice being able to restart the process, not the computer. I can get some monster uptime on my laptop. Hell, my gf's iBook has bout 45 days uptime now.
