In your tool bar go to Tools, then Connections, Settings. Then check the box that says 'Automatically detect settings', and 'uncheck' Use proxy server for this connection, OK, OK.
My POS ISP, :evil: peoplepc changed some 'shtuff', and now that's what I've got to do to view and pics/graphics at all. I've spent close to 3 hrs on the phone with some middle eastern techs named Sam, Brian, etc., and after all that, it's still screwed up..... :evil: :evil: :evil: They sent the latest greatest upgrade discs, still FUBAR!
Probably have to change ISP to do much about it.
But the sequence above should fix your problem.
