+Haggis Hunter Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 My browser isn't allowing me to see pictures on certain sites! All i'm getting is a box with a little x in the corner. Can someone give me some advice please on what I have to change, so that I can see the pictures? BIG THANKS in advance Quote Link to comment
+Dallan72 Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Try this one that has worked for me a couple of times: Re: IE won't load images After installing Internet Explorer 6 SP1, there may be problems displaying small images; only image placeholders will appear. IE6 seems to have a bug regarding third-party namespace providers. Some of the types of offending programs may be download managers, personal security software, ftp clients, popup ad blockers, and so on. This fix may disable some functionality in those programs. To make IE6 display small images again, delete the following registry keys if they exist: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\http HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\https HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\ftp The only key that should exist under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\mk.

+Kelsborrow Wayfinders Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 If you get the problem while looking at the geocaching website it may be because you are blocking pop-ups. I use the Google toolbar which has the facility to block popups and initially I couldn't see any photos either. Once I allowed pop-ups for geocaching.com it was OK. Quote Link to comment
Ben Pid Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 To get in to the registry it nees to be mentioned.... Click Start Then RUN type: REGEDIT then navigate like Windows Explorer to the above keys in the first reply. Quote Link to comment

I have tried this, in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\mk. folder I have a sub folder called *. This is all there is in this folder should I delete * or not. As for my popups, the sites that I am having problems on I am allowing popups. So this doesn't appear to be the problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Dallan72 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 The subfolder to "mk" should be left in place. Once you made the change in regedit, you just need to shut down and restart Internet Explorer (assuming that's your browser) and it should implement the change. Quote Link to comment

I've not been able to make any changes as all there is in the folder 'mk' is a folder called '*' Quote Link to comment
+Dallan72 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 If the name-space handler folder only contains the "mk" folder (including "*" subfolder) and the problem is still occurring then something else is causing it. I had the same problem for ages before I finally found the solution I suggested to you after a search in Google, and it solved my problem straight away - I was getting the boxes and red crosses like you are.

Big Black Bunny Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 You could try posting to this forum http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/ It's a very good site but you will have to register to use the help room forum or search the old threads. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment

+Team Ullium Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 (edited) Yep it could be HH as he looks well enough built and fit enough... but the running technique leaves a lot to be desired....notice how flat footed he is running!! I rather imagine that HH has a lot more spring to his stride Sorry HH...I seem to have let you in for it a bit of slagging...but I suspect you have very broad shoulders Ullium.
