Just bought a Dell XPS M1530 with Vista home. All web pages display properly except Yahoo mail and other Yahoo pages where icons are replaced with red rectangles. Opening a new account or using Google Chrome makes no difference.
So far Yahoo have been unable to help, can you please?
Do you have any virus protection?
Solution # 1
Goto Avanced Options in IE settings and make sure Show Pictures is checked.
Still no luck? Continue to next solution
Solution # 2 ( Note :Adobe flash 10 don't work well with Vista IE7 or IE8 )
Solution # 3
loadTOCNode(3, 'resolution');
Enable scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, and Java programs to enable Web pages to run correctly .
To do this, follow these steps:
Apparently the problem is connected with PC Guard. A fix is described here:-------------

Re:"All web pages display properly except Yahoo mail and other Yahoo pages

That may depend on a firewall or dns problem or a slow internet connection.
Try moving your router phone and ethernet cable , to sort out problems related to disturbance on cable, also call your provider.
Disable temporarily your firewall and internet protection.
Re: "Disabling antivirus and firewall did the job"
That means that you instructed the forewall to block pictures on yahoo mail page at some point.
A solution to this is going through the firewall settings and add the page as an exception.
An easier solution can be uninstalling and reinstalling back teh whole Firewall/Antivirus suite.
Do not leave the antivirus off for a long time.

Hello,
I would recommend you to first update your vista OS via MS update page. This would update the IE and other system files for proper page rendering.
Let us know.
Yahoo Mail appears to be having a problem currently. There are several
connection timeouts to some of its servers. I cannot even access one of
my accounts right now.
You may also eed to configure your firewall to let yahoo mail in.
Download Mozila Firefox. So much faster that Internet Explorer. I will give you the download link below.
FireFox 3.0.6
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for using Fix Ya!

Hi
do you have any special protection software installed?
Clean up your browser history and temporary files etc, I could look at this over remote support if your intrested?
open www.fastsupport.com
type in your name
type in support key 897 717 876 without spaces.
Where are the red squares... in the address bar... that would be normal
Http://www.google.com/chrome
install chrome and test wheather working or not...

Thankyou
Good thought but I've already tried this and no luck. It's as if there's a missing addon but I've checked with my old XP laptop and there's no difference in the loaded addons.
Could there be a clash with another program?
The appearance is quite different from what appears on my old XP laptop so not normal I think.
Loaded Firefox but still the same (also no solution using Chrome as someone else suggested)
Good thinking machadojr_fe, any advice on how I configure my firewall please? I use PCGuard which comes from Virgin.
I leave auto-update on all the time and its last update was yesterday. Checked the website and my machine has the latest OS version.
All suggestions so far have been logical but unfortunately have not helped resolve the problem, and I had already tried most of them before deciding to pay for some help.
Thanks for all suggestions so far, I hope someone out there has an answer.
Deleted all cookies, history and temporary files with no success. Have tried Firefox and Chrome with no success either.
I use wifi so no cables to move. However disabling antivirus and firewall did the job :)BUT it's not a permanent or acceptable solution is it :(
So now the question is how do I configure PCGuard to make this a permanent and safe solution please?
Well done moniter - so simple. Thanks++
