<div class="symptoms_section">

SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 to view a Web page that has multiple copies of one or more pictures, not all the pictures are displayed. Typically, only one picture is displayed. If you refresh the Web page, the image that was first displayed may disappear, and a different image may appear. Sometimes, no pictures are displayed at all. You may have to refresh the Web page many times for all the images to display at the same time.

<div class="cause_section">

CAUSE
This problem occurs because of a potential multi-threaded race condition where certain embedded downloads in a Web page will fail. Because of this condition, images or other embedded objects are neither displayed nor referenced, and a permanent or temporary namespace handler is registered on your computer.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, install the MS04-038 security update.

For additional information about how to obtain this update, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
