Hi there,

I have been speaking to Serunson and he said If I had any pc problems his great pals at Daniweb would help me out

My main problem is that im using IE7 and I cannot view pictires on this web site

This is the only site that I cannot see the picture so far.

I did have this problem before on a slower pc, but I got round it I think by the 'reset ie settings' but I have tried that many times on this pc.

on the old pc I even tried firefox b4 I used the reset tab, was the same using that :s but when I got it running on IE7 it was working fine on firefix :icon_eek:

Im using Norton 2003 av & firewall, all set low/medium, same on ie properties...in advanced multimidia all boxes checked apart from 'show image placeholder downloaders'

Any ideas???

Cheers

A concise troubleshooting checklist that builds on the replies from , and and covers diagnostics not mentioned in the thread.

Run the browser without add-ons (iexplore -extoff) to rule out toolbars/extensions. Force a full refresh (Ctrl+F5) and open the page source to copy an image src URL — opening that URL directly will show whether the server is returning a 200 image, a 403/404, or an HTML page instead of an image (common signs of hotlink or server-side blocking).

Check local name and socket state: clear DNS and reset Winsock, then reboot. Useful commands:

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
iexplore -extoff

Examine the hosts file at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (back it up first). Any line mapping the problematic host to 127.0.0.1 or another address will prevent images from loading. Also temporarily disable third‑party firewall/antivirus for a short test (remember to re-enable it) — some security products block content by domain or MIME type.

For definitive diagnostics, capture the HTTP traffic with Fiddler or another proxy/sniffer. Inspect the image requests for status codes, content-type headers, redirects, and referer values. If images are served from a different host, referer‑based hotlink protection or incorrect MIME type are common culprits. Finally, test the same page from a different network or device; if images load elsewhere the problem is local, otherwise the server or upstream filter is the likely source.

Hi Spawner :)

Right what you could try is adding bf2stats.nl to the trusted websites area of IE7. This is done by the following:
Click on Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Then Click on Trusted Websites, and add http://www.bf2stats.nl to that list of trusted sites.
This might work.

Your ISP may be blocking that site as a security risk.

Note that many businesses and schools routinely block such sites as a waste of computer time.
