Images Displayed Incorrectly in Internet Explorer 3.0

ID: Q158549


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 for Windows 95


SYMPTOMS

When you are viewing a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document that contains JPEG (.jpg) images, the images may be displayed as static or random characters.


CAUSE

The current color palette setting is set to 16-color mode.


RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods:

  • Change the color palette to 256 colors or higher. To change the Color Palette setting, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.


    2. Double-click Display.


    3. Click the Settings tab.


    4. In the Color Palette box, click a setting with more than 16 colors.

      NOTE: If your system does not support more than 16 colors, you will not be able to select a higher setting.


    5. Click OK.




  • Upgrade your current version of Internet Explorer to version 3.02. Internet Explorer 3.02 has an improved graphics rendering engine that can successfully display JPEG images in 16-color mode.
