Okay, just a reminder, I haven't seen LOST.

That said, this PC is driving me nuts. I can get to every option on Google ~except~ images. The page times out.

When I try to search images via Comcast, it let's me, but the images won't load.

I've run all the scans, etc. that I know to.

Thoughts?

(I'm gonna have to start all over, ain't I?)

This is a really wild shot, but...any chance some program or spyware has changed your proxy settings? You can check - in IE go to Tools/Internet Options, then click on the Connections tab, and then on the LAN Settings button in the lower third of that screen. See if the "use a proxy server" box is checked - for Comcast, it shouldn't be. I'd also uncheck "Automatically detect settings" on that screen, but that's just me.

This probably isn't it, since usually incorrect proxy settings mean you can't get *anywhere*, but...

Couple more...when was the last time you reset your cable modem?

Have you changed network settings on your PC for any reason?
