I have screwed around with Symantec and Microsoft all day, on a dial-up
connection and to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Since
I installed Norton SystemWorks (Utilities and Anti-virus), IE will no
longer display any images, just those damn boxes with the little X in the
upper left-hand corner. Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling
IE or Norton?

Probably not! Both Norton and Microsoft screw the system too well. What do
you want to do? There are certainly good open source programs which will
achieve it better.

Systemworks may have modified a setting somewhere to turn off image
display in IE. I'm guessing, but it may be based on some view of a
security level that you've requested.

In my experience, Systemworks is more trouble than it's worth. It made
good sense for the early versions of Windows where many basic functions
were missing, but for the later versions, especially XP, it just gets in
the way. I would un-install it and buy the plain Norton Anti-Virus
program. If you can selectively install Anti-Virus from Systemworks
that would suffice.

I use Bullguard. It has both an Antivirus, Firewall and Backup feature. The
last featue I dont use, but the other
two features, works great. And Bullguard has a more frequent virusdefinition
update than Symantec.
