Hi
Dear Friends,

I am using Firefox & IE 6. My os is XP SP2.
All my images & graphics on both the Internet Browsers are highly distorted.I have installed my video drivers & then installed without any relief. Photos which i import from my digicam or exist on my hard disc are opening properly without any problem.
Please help my sort out this problem..

Thanks
Vaibhav

Given ’s note that locally stored photos open normally while every browser shows the same heavy distortion, the fault is unlikely to be the image files themselves. Two broad causes explain this pattern: either the image bytes are being corrupted before or during download (network/modem/router/transparent proxy/antivirus web‑filter), or the browser rendering pipeline (GPU/hardware acceleration, DirectX/GDI overlay, bad video memory) is producing on‑screen artifacts. ’s idea to capture what’s seen on screen and ’s pointer toward ISP/modem issues are both relevant — the tests below separate those possibilities quickly.

Recommended diagnostic checklist:

  • Save a web image (right‑click → Save As) and open that saved file in the system image viewer. If the saved file looks fine, the download path is OK and the problem is the browser’s rendering; if the saved file is corrupted, the corruption happened in transit or before disk write.
  • Capture a full screenshot (Print Screen) of the distorted page and open the screenshot in an image viewer. If the screenshot reproduces the distortion, the problem occurs before the physical monitor (rendering/software or system memory); if the screenshot is clean but the screen shows artifacts, check the monitor/cable/GPU overlay.
  • Test the same sites from a different network (mobile tether or a friend’s connection) and from another machine on the same LAN. If other machines are fine, suspect the problem machine; if all machines on the network show the issue, suspect router/ISP.
  • Temporarily disable browser hardware acceleration and reduce Windows hardware acceleration (Display Properties → Settings → Advanced → Troubleshoot slider). Also disable any web‑scanning/HTTP filtering in security software.
  • If network corruption is suspected, bypass the router/modem, update its firmware, replace the Ethernet cable, and try a different NIC driver. If rendering issues persist after those checks, run a memory test (Memtest86+) to rule out bad RAM.

If the above narrows the cause, the next step is a targeted fix (router firmware, NIC settings, driver rollback, or forcing software rendering).

it could possible be video driver problem .right click on your desktop go properties /settings and check the color quality make sure its set to high 32 bit . or
right click on mycomputer ,go to properties /hardware/device manager and check for red or yellow ! on the video display

I have tried both already.Resolution as well as colour quality are at their highest level.No probs with video driver.then even i have reinstalled video driver & now i have even formated my windows drive & reinstalled OS but no benefit.

Like i said in my first post ,this is weird problem .and now it get weirder ,after a format it should not be a problem, maybe you could use print screen option key to copy a screen capture of the browser when all looks weird and attach it to you next post ,for a look !

Did you try reinstalling it?
Also in cmd, type, ipconfig /flushdns
maybe it might help!
