I am on a fast ADSL connection, so they should load very quickly.  Yahoo! websites are the slowest to load. Most other webistes load quickly.\n\nI have noticed that the websites which are slow to load usually have .gif images.  These images never appear, a border just sits around them, with a cross in the middle.\n\nIt happens with both IE and Netscape.  I have tried disabling Nortons internet security, but there was no change.\n\nPlease help....

Did you try clearing up your cache? Or may be you have some other programs running in the background that are consuming your CPU/Memory. Check memory and CPU usage of your computer.

If it's only certain websites, it could be bad webpage authoring.  For example....  If a web developer is trying to refer to a picture that is actually named picture.jpg and they imbed it into their code with all capitals like PICTURE.JPG, the dreaded red x will be the result.\n\nIt also can be the result of ad-blocking---Security/Privacy software believing an image is an advertising banner.  Disable your security/privacy software, close your browser, open it back up again and see if it goes away.\n\nHope that helps!

USE FIREFOX, less cookies, less ADS, LESS SPYWARE, its faster. You already said FF loaded it then...use it!

try cleaning your browser..delete some cookies and clear cache, clear the history as well...and then restart your computer...check if it's same as other sites..there are possiblities that the computer is not protected from spyware...scan the computer and check if you are not blocking any images to be downloaded to your pc..\n--\nif problem persists contact a technician

Have you tried dumping your browser's cache, along with your temporary internet files? \n\nI don't know if this is even the right advice, but it HAS helped me when web pages started acting "funny" on me. I have not, however, run into the specific problem you mentioned. But hopefully you'll get to the bottom of it! :)

Maybe you dont have enough memory to run those sites,check your files to see they're huge. You could also check My Computer to see how much memory really is left.\n\nAlso, some websites have flash programs that take a lot of time to load---that might be another reason. Or if you're using an old model, the sites you're trying to open might just not be compatible with it. For me (since I don't have much patience with that stuff) I'd just buy a larger memory. Like 1 Gb worth (if you're really into downloading stuff)

To enable animated GIFs, select "Internet Options" from the Tools menu and then click the Advanced tab. Scroll down to the Multimedia section, check the "Play Animations" option and click OK. From now on, you should only see the first frame of each animated GIF that loads.\n\nRemember that IE will need to be restarted for the changes to take effect.

depends on the toolbar ... some are full of spyware, which slows it down. But the yahoo and google ones are good cause they have built in popup blockers. Plus they aren't recognized as spyware/adware

Did you try google image(search)?\nSurfing other sites no problem?\nWhat do you mean by not working, no change after click, no loading of page or what?

How fast images load in your browser depends on two things:  the speed of your Internet connection and how large the file size of the image is.  \n\nSince broadband Internet is so readily available now, a lot of designers have abandoned the age old art of shrinking files sizes and saving images in web formats.  The pictures look great but if you're still using a 56K modem it'll take forever to download.\n\nTo avoid this, make sure you use just the amount of pixels you need and a don't depend on the HTML image configuration to resize it for you.  Even though the image looks smaller the file size hasn't changed.\n\nAlso, you don't need 32-bit color on EVERY image.  If you're using Photoshop, use the option that lets you save images for web more often and pay attention to how long it'll take the image to download on a 56K modem.

SYMPTOMS\nWhen you open a Web page, one or more pictures (graphics or images) may not be displayed. Instead, a red X, or a placeholder, may appear in place of the images.  \n\nCAUSE\nThis behavior can occur if one of the following conditions is true: • The Web page includes an image type that is not supported by Internet Explorer. \n• The Show Pictures check box is not selected on the Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog box, or the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory was used to disable images in Internet Explorer. \n• The image is displayed based on a script, ActiveX control, cookie, Java applet, or HTTP referral information, and your computer or network is configured to block one or more of these features. For example, you may have Internet Explorer or Symantec Corporation's Norton Internet Security (NIS) or Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) 2002 configured to block one or more of these features. \n• Internet Explorer cannot determine the character set (also called code page or encoding) that is used by the Web page, or a file or registry key required to display the Web page with the appropriate character set may be missing or damaged. By default, Internet Explorer uses the character set that is specified in the HTTP content type that is returned by the server, the character set specified by the meta element in the Web page document, or your Encoding preference if no HTTP content type is returned by the server and no meta element is specified in the Web page document. \n\n\nRESOLUTION\nTo troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps. After each step, check to see if the issue is resolved. If the issue still occurs, continue troubleshooting with the next step: \n1. Right-click the red X or placeholder for the image, and then click Properties. Verify that the image type is supported by Internet Explorer by examining the Type or Address (URL) values in the Properties dialog box. For example, a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file will list GIF Image for Type and the Address (URL) ends with .gif. Internet Explorer displays images with an .art, .wmf, .emf, .png, .mov, .xbm, .avi, .mpg, .gif, .jpg, .mpeg, and .bmp extensions. \n2. Start Internet Explorer. \n3. If you have the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory installed, click the Toggle Images.exe link on the Links toolbar to turn on images.\n\nNote If the Links toolbar is not visible, right-click a blank area of the toolbar and verify that there is a check next to Links. If the Toggle Images.exe link is not visible on the Links toolbar, click the arrow with two angle brackets on the far right-side of the Links toolbar. \n4. Verify that Show Pictures has not been turned off in Internet Explorer: a.  On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. \nb.  Click the Advanced tab, and then verify that the Show Pictures check box is selected under Multimedia. \nc.  Click OK. \n \n5. Make sure scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, and Java applets are enabled in Internet Explorer. To do so, follow these steps: a.  On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. \nb.  Click the Security tab, and then click Default Level (if it is available) for the zone which contains the Web page (for example, Internet). \nc.  If you are using Internet Explorer 6, click the Privacy tab, and then click Default (if it is available). \n \n6. If you are using a third-party Internet security, firewall, or cookie blocking program, contact the manufacturer of the program for information about how to enable scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, Java applets, advertisements, and HTTP referral information. For example, if you have Norton Internet Security (NIS) or Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) installed, see the following Symantec Corporation Web sites for additional information about the various settings in these products that might cause this behavior: • http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sunset-c2002kb.nsf/29dd58255a9a57a585256ee600556cc1/73af2219f66216e585256ede00518e72?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam (htt

As much as I hate Norton Anti-virus, it blocks pop-ups and inline ads too.\nYour version of IE should have a pop-up blocker of its own.\nLook in the "tools" and see what you have checked.\nI don't even have mine turned on. Norton is blocking all the ads, (and a few programs as well)

Well...it looks much better now! It's working slowly than before but I think it's more because of our internet speed and because of our browsers. switch to firefox to see the difference...

Probably the Yahoo server is a little slow your end and your browser is waiting for it to respond. I don't think Dell are any worse then anyother computer manufacturer.\nReally same sort of parts to any other like for like but just badged different on the box.

I have XP - IE6 - SP2 too it was animating fairly quick i thought, there was kind of a delay to start over (the page was blank for a bit) though. But maybe that was intended.\n\nIt might help to delete your temp internet files.
