[thelist] IE6 doesnt like spacer gifs?

[Sam Richardson]

Jeff,

I've locate the problem and the fix. Unfortunately it is primarily an IE6
SP1 bug and the fix involves uninstalling or at least deleting the registry
entries for third-party namespace handlers (details below). Third-party
namespace handlers are things like alternative FTP or download helpers, or
anything else other than IE6 that may get involved in handling the HTML.

I suffered from the same problem, do a search through your registry for
namespace handlers, remove any that are there and it should fix your
problem.

After installing Internet Explorer 6 SP1, there may be problems
displaying small images; only image placeholders will appear.

IE6 seems to have a bug regarding third-party namespace providers.
Some of the types of offending programs may be download managers,
personal security software, ftp clients, popup ad blockers, and so on.
 This fix may disable some functionality in those programs.

To make IE6 display small images again, delete the following registry
keys if they exist:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\http
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\https
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\ftp

The only key that should exist under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler is
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\mk.

"As a follow-up, I did some research and found that this problem was
happening
for others after they had installed the program Getright.  The fix was to
delete 2 registry keys that are left behind even after Getright is
uninstalled.

 was able to cure the image loading problem by deleting the registry key
that FTP Voyager installs.

That key is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\ftp]

I believe it is what integrates FTP Voyager to IE6 so FTP Voyager handles
FTP
download links that are clicked in the browser.  This is an unnecessary
feature and FTP Voyager can still be used without it."
