Broken PNG images with IE7 on Windows Vista

There are some brokem images there and they are in fact PNG's. I noticed on websites that display images via script where the image properties show as a php,asp, or other non image file but points to a PNG image that the image just does not show up...blank space. I tried resetting my browser settings but that did not work and there does not appear to be an installer for IE7 for Vista so I do not want to attempt to uninstall it...I think its attached to the frikkin OS! Anyone else having this problem? Thanks, Maddy _____________________

Not sure why I have to do this for every other program in Vista when I am the Administrator and there are no other users on my PC! /shakes fist a Bill!
