1123619 2010-07-31 14:14:00 OS Win 7 Ultimate

Just reloaded Win7 to this Sony laptop because no images shown in IE 8 when I logged in to my facebook. Firefox works OK,though

I reloaded Win7 because of this problem and after reinstalling, the problem remains!:badpc:

Looks like something is blocking facebook. I've no other firewall installed, only MS security essential and built-in firewall.

It's driving me crazy. Can someone help?

Probably not you.

No. It wasn't me; but I still couldn't find any solution to the problem, could you be a little more precise and point me to the right direction, please.

It's got something to do with the security settings of my browsers,but they are all default settings, I didn't change any of them.:badpc:

Wainutech's big hammer will probably help to scare away the culprit! Where's Wainu? Please lend me you hammer!

1123623 2010-07-31 22:17:00 Got my Firefox showing the images now - after upgraded to FF ver 3.6.8.

But IE still refuses to show up!:badpc:

1123624 2010-07-31 22:39:00 Wainu's big hammer really works like magic. Both IE8 and Firefox are showing those sweet images again! But I didn't do anything other than uninstalled and reinstalled FF ver 3.6.8!

Didn't know that Facebook is so temperamental!

1123626 2010-07-31 23:53:00 Is that where I left the Hammer :)

Facebook has been terrible loading over the last few days -- SWMBO got me playing a game we used to play on the TV ages ago :eek:

Often we have to refresh/reload IE8 or FF 3 to 4 times before it finally loads up the page.

1123627 2010-08-01 12:43:00 OMG, facebook is playing up again!

Was installing the latest Java updates and after completed the installation, my facebook refueses to show all the images/feeds again!:badpc:

Restored the Win7 from Image created this morning, but facebook still can't function correctly. It's driving me crazy, real crazy, this time.:badpc:

Could it be a hardware issue (although it's not logical to suggest this)?

1123628 2010-08-01 12:47:00 I have no idea what you are doing. Running Win 7 Pro 64 bit here.

IE 8 displays images in Facebook just fine.

FF 3.6.8 also works.
