Any laptop helpers please?

[Loislane]

Hello members of VT :)

I have a slight problem with my laptop. For some reason, it suddenly stopped showing me some images. However It only stops me seeing some, not all of them.

For instance, if someone posted a picture of themselves in a thread, I can't see it. If someone has an image in their siggy, I can't see that either.
I also can't see any images I upload on tinypic.

Does anyone know why? :(

it's only here? or everywhere?

[Loislane]

Everywhere :)

Sounds like a cache error

delete your cookies and temp files

maybe re install your browser


if that doesnt work try alt + F5 on your websites

Done that, no luck :(
I know this might sound ridiculous, but i don't know how. Shall I just delete firefox then google it again and re-do the whole process?

No luck :(

[Kaius]

Yeah, just uninstall it from the control panel > Programs > Firefox > Uninstall and then google it and reinstall.

[Loislane]

I just done that, and it's still not working :(

Any other suggestions please?

Do you have updated flash and java programs?

[Loislane]

Java I think I am... I don't know about flash. How do I know if I am updated on flash?

[Kaius]

I'm not sure, unless it comes up with "You havent got the up to date version of Adobe Flash" If not i just redownload it every few months to make sure.

[Loislane]

Oooo, yes I updated my adobe flash when I re-installed firefox :)

[Kaius]

Will pictures come up when you're using any other browsers?

[Loislane]

Nope.

I downloaded google chrome to try it on that, and it was the same. I also tried internet explorer and it was the same lol.

[Kaius]

Alright, hmm..thats strange.

[Loislane]

Yeah, it is. Thank you so much for your help btw!

[Kaius]

No problem, Sorry i couldn't help!

How long has it been happening?

[Bmatlman]

have you tried useing safari.

it might just be the laptop its self. what kind of laptop do you have. how old is it.

Sounds like it could be a number of things.
Do the images not load, giving the image of a broken page?
Or the the images simply not appear, as if there wasn't even supposed to be an image there in the first place.
Or..?

That won't work. First you'll have to re-download it before you can delete it. Otherwise, you won't have a browser to re-download it. Or, you could try DOS commands to get it downloaded. But I strongly doubt that will work, if it's even possible. It's up to you.
