Images are looking weird in internet explorer

[astnfan]

Hi there,

I am noticing that my internet explorer is producing images sometimes distorted when loading in the browser. But if I look at the same page on another computer, it looks perfectly fine.

Does anyone know what is wrong with this? I am using the same version of IE on both machines.

thanks

Maybe Automatic Image Resizing is turned on, could that be it?

hi there,

thanks for the reply,

I actually just turned that off and it did help a little, but not all the way. I still notice that image color is distorted for some images.

It seems like the computer is too fast for the browser and starts putting random colors in the picture before if can finish loading the entire image. Very wierd. I can go to the same page in an hour, and it does not do it, so I know it is some type of intermittent problem, or some setting needs to be turned off or on somewhere.

are you using a dial-up accelerator?
first of all, its proven these only work for page loading times by running all images through a proxy server and making them smaller by reducing image quality in various way (reference G4ttv)

No I am using a DSL connection, I am not using any type of proxy server, but the server I am connecting to might be. I doubt that would be the cause though, becuase both computers are running the same ISP on the same router, and only the one computer is experiencing the problem.

Check the Display settings for that one computer. It could be the video card hardware or driver as well. Try changing from the brand driver to generic Windows XP driver. See if that changes anything.

Agreed. What color depths are both PCs running at?
