You're probably on a windows system and your anti-virus is blocking them.
I remember it was a quick fix in Norton AV, but it's been so long ago
that I regularly used a PC to browse the Internet, I can't remember
what it was. You should check your AV software.


The avvies have not been acting up on the org otherwise.

Go to IE\Properties\Advanced and scroll down to Multimedia and make sure you
have a checkmark to show pictures and placeholders. If that doesn't fix it, I would use a different browser than Internet Explorer. If you go with Firefox or Safari and see little blue boxes instead, the problem lies elsewhere.
