XP SP2 Missing Images on Drudge Home Page

[Keen-Minded]

After downloading the XP SP2 update I have experienced the following problem:

When accessing the Drudgereport home page I do not see any images/graphics. I haven't experienced this problem on any other web pages. Everything else seems to work okay

I checked the security settings and they appear correct.

Dump Windows. Use Linux or get a Macintosh. Problem solved.

Stick with windows, sell Apple, and remeber Linux is free and it is worth every penny.

Mine works fine, try rebooting.

Was listening over the weekend to Leo LaPorte on computers, and he got a few calls about the problems people have been having with SP2. (Some are a lot worse than yours.) His advice and apparently the advice of MS is to uninstall it and take your puter back to the day before you did install it.

I installed it as well, and haven't had problems with it... Yet?

Try Mozilla. Or Larryzilla. Or Curlyzilla.

Uninstall SP2 or use go back to revert your drive to before you installed SP2. Also if you selected a valid restore point before installing SP2 you can use SP1.

I just did my SP2 today as well. XPhmed. All good here. No problems at all on download or programs working. Office2000 etc.

The images you are not seeing are probably the advertisements. I have had popup and ad blocking so long that when I viewed Drudge on a friends PC I though for a second I had the wrong page with all that crap at the top.

I just put on SP2 also. Now on my desktop the icons have lines under them and won't go away. Also the manual buttons for my wireless and sound dont work either.

Any help anyone?

I'm having a few probs...nothing too bad yet. But I will uninstall if they get worse.

SP2 by default blocks pop up, look under tools. Either that or maybe the Java Virtual Machine has been disabled or removed. Don't need to uninstall SP2, just reinstall Java or check for popup blocker.

After installing SP2, I notice on my FR Homepage, there are two of my images that are 'blurry'...strange, don't notice it else where. I have a lot of photos on my computer and they are all fine.

Dump windows and get a good flavor of Linux. Redhat, SuSe, Mandrake.... Much Bedda.

That and more. Ever had a Windows box run for 722 days without crashing?

Top that, BlueScreen boy.

One thing I had to do today before my download of sp2 was to got to my puter maker (www.hp.com) and download new drivers for my computer that are compatable with sp2. Then I downloaded sp2. No problems.

We need a messageboard for computer problems...I lost my toolbar icons when I installed XP Pro,no IE icon desktop icon or mail icon.

Have you also kept your browser updated? If so, and the problem persists, try a reinstall of Internet Explorer. You might also try Mozilla Firefox, which sidesteps some common browser problems and has some useful features.

Where did you find those?

I use Compaq... which is HP

XP support (box on left side of page)

Then pick the drivers you need. You might have to go to 'MyComputer' > 'Properties' > 'hardware' and then check to see if the hardware you have is what compaq says you might need to download.
