Hi, I have a problem viewing some pictures (pictures posted in message boards, some but not all) on my laptop and not on my desktop. My desktop is running win 2k pro and my laptop XP pro. They are both on the network and the host of the pictures did not go down because I checked on my desktop right after I couldnt see them on my laptop. It seems that when trying to view the pics on my laptop my computer never loads them but tries for a while until a red X shows up. I also have a warning or caution sign in the bottom left hand corner of the IE window. When I click it it says theres been an error and when i click show details it says something like Line:27 Char:2 Error: object expected. On my win2k machine I also get a caution sign but the pictures still load and are displayed. Does anyone know what the problem is and how i could fix it?

it might be either a software problem or a networking config problem(even security/privacy settings)or even a problem on the other end(slooow server connections..timing out issues) ..beyond that I am clueless ..goodluck :)
