Why wont images fully load the first time?

[leedogg]

I have this wierd error in IE where some pictures wont fully load and I get little red x's I have to keep hitting refresh and then some pictures are fixed while others break.

Any suggestions/ideas on how to fix this?

Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and open HOSTS file with notepad and find image.com.com to remove any gamespot problem and MSN for any msn problem and so on, u gotta use the find option.

It was reported back that the person first backed up the file then deleted it with no ill effect & the red x problem was gone.

actually my host file was already blank...think i deleted it..could that be a problem?
