Tech tard needs computer help.

[TNDemo]

We got this computer a month or two and for some reason all the pictures, via e-mail, on the web, whatever, are dark. We have tried the little lightening and darkening buttons on the monitor and have flipped through some settings but can't seem to find the magic button to lighten things up. Text is fine - only pictures are dark. Ideas?

1. Sounds like

you need to edit your preferences to show both text and images when surfing. Definitely not a monitor problem.

Look for 'Internet Options' under Tools and start from there. You should find some radio button that says 'Show text AND images' somewhere. Someone messed up your settings.
