I have no idea about AOL, it didn;'t ever work right for me!

In my opinion - download firefox.

Firefox

Really sorry I couldn't solve your problem. Someone might come along and tell you it's a simple fix.

But firefox is just a much nicer browser to use. It's clear, has a huge modification base so you can really make your browser yours (I've got my mini as my display - same idea as the TMF brands hatch banner, but on my browser), oh and it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much faster than AOL.

Hey, no worries mate.

While in the browser go to:

Tools > Internet options > Advanced > Scroll down to multimedia > Then make sure everything is ticked like pictures etc.

also

Tolls > Internet options > programs > Manage add-ons > then makesure flash/shockwave is enabled.

If this doesnt work looks for other fixes or downloaded CCleaner then run it and after that (if it hasnt worked) go to Tools > Internet options > Advanced < Restore advanced settings > apply

Cheers for that. Done everything you said and it's still the same >:)

Seems to be only .png images I can't see. Anyone else got any ideas?
