    Did the latest security updates and NET Framework 3 a few days ago. Now, my internet explorer looks like this. Anyone ever see this before? If I click on the pink graphics...the actual .gif shows up. When the page first loads, everything is normal...then pictures begin to disappear. I have tested my video card and my memory...it's since the updates

    You could uninstall IE7 and try re-installing it. See if that fixes anything.
    I've never seen this before.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled...same issue. Looks like I may have to change to Firefox..

    I have never seen this before, either. Only since security updates...

    I cal click on the pink holders and the picture loads. Funny...when I first get to the page..everything is there...then the pictures turn pink. Must be a .dll or something

    Did you try un-installing Net Framework 3 and reinstalling that?
    If that doesn't work than I have no idea (unless this happens to everyone who installs the update - then it would just be a matter of time before the problem is fixed).
