Blinking images or frames on web pages?
Lately whenever I visit a website it seems as if the pictures or images on the website will not download completely to the web page. On some pages it blinks for a few seconds and then the page seems to stabalize until another advertisement comes up. Other websites that I shop on, the picture of the items flash continuously and it is VERY irritating. I have IE 6.0, Windows 98, 56k modem, and dsl. What can I do to fix this problem? I have run every spyware, adware, spybot, and reg cure.

I tried your suggestion and neither one seems to work. I am not quite sure why I would even be having this type of problem now. Maybe its just time to upgrade.
bellshouse1,
Upgrade.
That's definite.
w98 is kinda quaint. Full of memory leaks, security leaks, was installed on a slow machine by modern standards and cannot effectively run most current s/w or even support hardware.
:D

I think it might have something to do with the flashplayer. Since upgrading is not exactly in the budget right now do you have any other suggestions that I can try?

I removed the flashplayer and that is what appeared to be the problem. However, I have PIII Intel 500 +128MB. I could have sworn that the flashplayer had been installed for some time without any problems. Maybe I tried to upgrade it to see some video that somebody emailed to me. Anyway thanks for your assistance.

Are you short of disk space? Your cache might be full.
Win98 is fragile on security issues - but I guess you have an old machine which won't support an upgrade to XP.
Use the DSL and disconnect the modem.
click the red X. It will stop flashing on animated gifs (but not flash).
