I think that the administrators at your work may possibly have blocked the content; you might require to verify with them. Does this take place on each webpage you visit or else only on one? Have you yet been capable to view images on the affected page? Let’s ensure that Internet Explorer settings are set to display pictures. Open internet explorer and go to “Tools” on the menu bar as well as after that click Internet Options. Inside the Internet choices window click on the “Advanced” tab after that scroll to “Multimedia” section. Ensure that there is a tick mark in front of “Show Pictures” box. If this does not accurate the trouble please includes the answers to my query in your answer.

I was able to observe photos on whichever site earlier than. At this moment it occurs to certain photos or else videos. As an case at what time I am searching on Google News moreover there is a drop down for a video which video does not come into view. However I am able to view videos on YouTube, hulu plus if I do a search on Google Video after that I can watch videos on there. I have attempted what you have recommended but the "Show Pictures" option was previously selected. I am not certain why it is just certain videos and pictures which I cannot view. Clearly my PC is not able to read a certain format however I cannot not figure out which one.

I will recommend you to try the following trick and see whether this help or not. Attempt opening Internet Explorer with no add-ons for this go to Start menu and select All Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools furthermore open Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). If the troubles still survive, you can attempt resetting Internet Explorer on the way to rule out whichever strange settings that might be there. This will clear every custom setting you might have for Internet Explorer. You be able to perform this by going to Tools and select Internet Options and now click on the Advanced Tab, plus after that click the Reset button.

I tried what you recommended and I still cannot view a number of video files. Frequently, I'm so busy with work that I did not have a lot time to search the Internet so I in reality see this in Google News section at what time there is a dropdown menu to view a video. The only thing I can think of is that this began at what time the office has changed the server however I'm not sure I cannot memorize if this problem occurred before or else after the change.
