Default Explorer Problems

Gents, wonder if anyone can help me. Recently ( for the last 3 days ) my internet explorer has gone **** up and when on this site, I see boxes with red crosses in for little icons, and the general format of the site is all over the place.

Other websites like photobucket / ebay are effected, the general screen layout has now become a right mess, links are all over the place, icons images have gone.

For example, as I write this thread, looking at the screen, the little editting icons have been replaced with red crosses, and I see the descriptions, e.g. Thumbs down, wink, red face, talking, instead of the icons themselves.

I reckon some configuration has been altered or switched off, but Im not sure what.

Any ideas ??

Simple fix - install Firefox instead and use that - much better browser and doesnt suffer from the normal Microsoft 'update' problem where each time they update it they make it a bit worse than the previous version.

Agree. Firefox and import your favourites across. Never use IE again.

Job done.

ive tried downloading firefox, but as Im at work, not allowed.

There's some configuration which I need to re-set, or install some plugins.
