For reasons that I can not sort out, images are being blocked in SM
2.0.10 used with my 933 mHz Dell 4100 using Windows XP-Home SP3 and
Avast! security software.
Specifically, the background maps when I go to Mapquest won't appear at
all and images on e-Bay often appear for a second or two and then
disappear. In both cases, SM is set to allow images from these two
sites. Text displays correctly. Turning off Avast! doesn't fix the
problem either.
Could this problem be caused by an SM Add-On or is it more likely to be
a preference setting that I don't know about?
Any help and/or suggestions will be gratefully received.
Although I appreciate Mr. Ross' suggestion, I have now discovered that
the problem is more nuanced than I had suspected. First, image
downloads from all sites has been enabled and always has been.
If one is operating as a user with Windows XP administrative rights,
everything operates fine. If, however, you operate as a user with
Windows XP limited rights, as is generally recommended for day-to-day
use, the problem I originally described occurs. It does not matter
whether Avast! is enabled or disabled in either case. I also made
certain that image downloads were allowed from all sites in both modes
of operation. In addition, I upgraded to SM 2.0.11 and that also made
no difference in the problem.
Accordingly, it would appear to me that something really odd is going on
in the way SM v.2.x interacts with the different user modes (with admin
rights and without admin rights) of Windows XP-Home. It would be
appreciated if anyone with a really thorough knowledge of SM v.2.x can
explain what may be going on and/or can advise me how to solve the
problem I have described.
