Hello Bartosz, thanks for your readiness to help, your time and trying in out on a virtual machine. But here we should keep in mind that a virtual machine is not equal to an original WinXP. I have quite a few backups and even an identical laptop for spare parts. Indeed the hard drives are breaking down from time to time. Yesterday I've tried your solution on my second identical laptop - same problems persist. So I'll be thankful for other ideas very much!
Thanks and kind regards! Martini PS: your link gives an error: If you report this error to the Wikimedia System Administrators, please include the details below.

Just for fun, I dusted off a VM running Windows XP and installed Firefox 52.9.0 on it, and I can see all images on Wikipedia.

Make a backup of your data soon before it dies on you. Then test on another laptop or a fresh Windows installation, and see if you still have this problem. -- Bartosz Dziewoński _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list -- wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wikitech-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/wikitech-l.lists.wikimedia.org/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list -- wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wikitech-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/wikitech-l.lists.wikimedia.org/
