Hi, any advice would be appreciated because I am at my wit's end! For the last week images on Facebook are not loading properly. Some images load, others do not, both my own photos and my friend's. This is a problem on the newsfeed and I click on individual images. They either show up as a white or grey box, or perpetually load and never appear. This issue is only on my laptop, on my desktop I can see everything properly. It is also occurring in IE, Firefox and Chrome. I have cleared all temp files, browsing history, cache, cookies ect with no luck. I also checked that there were no blocks on loading images in my browser settings. Lastly I looked at my anti-virus settings and don't see anything that should be affecting this (though I'm not exactly sure what I am looking for). The anti-virus programs I am running are Sophos, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials.

Please help me if you can! This is driving me nuts. Thanks so much in advance.

First things first.

Don't use multiple different antivirus programs. They'll fight each other for control and end up causing you problems. Stick with MSE, dump the rest.

When you cleared the temp files, how did you do it? Which program did you use?

Are you using the most updated versions of IE, Chrome, and FF? How about Java and Flash?

Remember GIGO. I've got to ask questions.

Give this a shot.

Make sure you've updated everything first (browsers, java, flash). Download TFC. Close all your browsers and run it. It will reboot. Then try Facebook and see what happens.

I've been having this problem too- but it is on my most updated system. My super-old laptop- where I have not lately updated anything- is fine with the images. I don't have wacky security software. It's gotta be some mix between the system and lack of update like you are saying- like Java or Flash. My boss, who has my same era iMac is having the same issue. If anyone gets a clear idea, please post it! Thanks!
