Sorry for double posting, but I read this as an email list and somehow the mailto was not set corretly.
The simple Windows thing. For some reason, the limited account used blocks the images from that site (probably also from others too). Are coming via a script java/js/vb/php etc. could be that the limited user rights account does not have enough file rights (and even if you THINK that you give them, Windows home thinks otherwise). I have found that the only way to get limited accounts to work properly under WIN XP was to use professional and its user management system so that when you (as admin) give the proper policy rights they stick and they are also followed. This because you say that as admin all work. This means that it could be that the images temp folder that SM uses does not have the proper rights, check that, but if it is under admin user there is not very much you can use, unless you upgrade your system to a professional version with policy management system. I know that this is not a very easy way, but when using the home versions it probably is the only real solution.
