IE service pack2 prob with pictures hotlinking, help!

[luvvbuzz]

wonder if anybody can help me out here? the problem is i have installed xp pro with service pack two and for some reason if i browse a forum with photos or pictures that are hotlinked from a nother site, it doesnt show the picture on the forum, it will show the url link instead and i have to click on that to see the picture open up in a new window.
you can imagine how annoying that is. i have looked around on the internet explorer tool and view settings but i cant seem to see much about allowing linked pictures on webpages. is there any computer genius out there who can suggest how i can see the pics without having to click links, and without uninstalling service pack 2 because i would much rather have service pack 2 installed for the obvious benefits. any suggestions will be appreciated. cheers.

You need to go into your internet options settings and make sure show pictures is checked.

I recommend you dump exploder and start using mozilla firefox though.

It is a lot safer and better.

yeah, thats what i am trying to find out how to do, i have looked in the internet explorer options and i cant find anything to show pictures. i quite like internet explorer, i have got very used to it.

Ok it's your funeral. Exploder is a security risk.

It is in the advanced tab under multimedia.
