- Find the "Temporary Internet Files" area and click on the "Delete Files" button, a good periodic exercise in any case.
- Click on the "Web Graphics" tab in the dialog box.
- Turn off (uncheck) "Use compressed graphics."
- Click on the "OK" button at the bottom of the dialog box.
Now you are ready to fully enjoy graphics using sites. |
