I'm running Windows 98 on a fairly recent Compaq Deskpro. Using IE 5. 5 to surf the web. When on the web, pictures do not display completely. A prime example is here at TDR. If someone attches a picture to a post, perhaps just the top part (or middle, or bottom) of the picture displays. Scrolling up and down makes things worse. Any picture that fits on the screen when the page first loads is fine. Any picture that I have to scoll to is not. If I hit refresh while the image area is centered on my screen, it displays fine. If I scroll down then back up again it will be gone. I played with Windows display properties, varying the resolutions and if I set resolution to 640x480 it works. But really now, who could put up with 640x480 resolution these days. Not me! There has to be another way.

It's a problem with your video driver. At 640x480 windows is using the base VGA driver. Try finding a new version of the driver for your video card, and install that.
