Can't load some pictures on the internet

[d1versify]

Hello. Lately my internet i think its kinda slower.
I've been checking my speed often and it is the same.
But it feels laggier.
Some pictures aren't loaded. And this happens in many sites. Even in facebook photos
I get this symbol a lot. I try refreshing the page but it wont load the picture. It doesnt happen with all pictures though.

Notice the tear in the picture, usually indicates the picture file is defective.

it happens in many pages. and it wont load several photos in facebook too. never happened before

try this:

Go to control panel>Internet Options> Advanced> Scroll down to Multimedia > place a check mark beside each option. It may be necessary to restart the computer for changes to take effect.

The only one unchecked is this "Show image download placeholders" . Should i tick it?

 

[tigsounds]

To show a placeholder is Ok to see that something should have been there.

Open windows Explorer.
Navigate to Windows\System32\drivers\etc
copy Host to another folder as a backup

Then....

Start>run>cmd

cd \windows\system32\drivers\etc​
enter> attrib -r hosts​
open hosts​ in notepad
KEEP ONLY the line that reads 127.0.0.1 localhost​
save​
enter> attrib +r hosts​
enter> ipconfig /flushdns​
enter> net stop "dns client"​
enter> net stop "dns client"​

Try your browser again

i delete the last line only?

" # ::1 localhost "

And then it asks me to save as .txt . What i do ?

If you remove the read-only attribute of the file named "host" where I said it will be and open Host with notepad, you can edit it and simply click "Save" and it will go back with it's same file name.

below all those pound signs is a line that will show:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Leave that line, but delete any others that don't have a # sign (comment). Any line with # in front of it is ignored already.
If you have a list of entries that don't have the # sign, delete them except the one showing:   127.0.0.1 localhost

Some of them may be important, thus I said to copy the Host fie to another folder as a backup.

This is exactly what i see.
So i delete nothing?
Sorry man im a big noob with all this 🙁

Make it look like this,and notice the lack of the pound sign at the last entry....

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

Damn sorry im so bad..
The read-only wasn't checked. I tried saving while it was both checked and unchecked and it makes me Save as .txt ..

 

[tigsounds]

and it makes me Save as .txt .

.

Then do a "save as" and there is a drop-down box under the file name, "all files' go for that and if all fails, save as a txt file and then go back and rename it, removing the .txt part.

see what im talking about? it happens in all internet pages..
But now i try to save and it says Access Denied... f*ck it im done mate! thanks for help anyway... 🙁

 

[tigsounds]

Ummmm.... Now that we see the problem... I'm thinking it may not be a problem on your end. Google some famous person and click the images link and see if those images do the same thing.

 

[d1versify]
