One computer can't fully load the FT pages
I know this is a problem on my machine but any info to pinpoint the problem would be appreciated. I can't think of anything that I've changed or loaded, but who knows. I have two laptops that feed off my network and have no problems with them loading and using FT. My desktop, OTOH, loads the page but cannot load/interpret some of the icons, like the envelopes on the left or the arrows that you click to access the last post of a thread. It's a messy screen each time (useable but messy to read).
Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks.
BTW - all machines are using IE

For diagnostic purposes, see what happens when you try http://web1.flyertalk.com or http://web2.flyertalk.com

Hard to say what may be causing that to happen on one page, but one possibility is that your computer has cached corrupted or incomplete images. Try clearing your cache, then restarting your computer and trying to access FT again.

Is it only FT or does it have trouble with other web sites as well? You arent using a very old version of IE on that computer are you? If it is a more recent version of IE, I wonder if some advanced features have been changed in the browser possibly disabling certain scripts etc.
