IE7 missing background web images

[Guest Michael]

I am logging into an XP pro SP2 machine as an admin and everything in IE7 is

fine - log in as another user with limited access and for all the world it is

as if the web is now CSS disabled... the layout is correct on all pages - but

no colour and no background images that are controlled by css. Changing the

users privaledges to admin has no effect.

 

I have looked at all IE7 tweaks but cannot correct this.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start

IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

 

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

 

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No

add-ons).

2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

 

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 *exactly* per the link below (which

automatically returns you to IE6), (b) all toolbars and © all third-party

Windows Themes (including Window Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this

behavior persist? If it does, do NOT reinstall IE7.

[Only use the Command %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot

uninstall via Add/Remove Programs!]

4. Required reading IMHO before reinstalling IE7:

 

Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then

STOP

http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

 

I strongly recommend using

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the

installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

 

Direct Download link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b

 

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

 

5. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after

reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional

Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it

to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
