[Quoted] Given all the evidence above, I'd assume you are correct: the files are fetched (http: 200) and processed (bytes processed

• bytes in size) by the server - your display does not understand them.

[Quoted] Now, as to why - I have no clue.
You do mention your menu bar is small - it would be the icons simply are not being processed because they do not fit. One thing might be to try another browser, change JInitiator version, if you're still using the dreaded thing. 1.3.24 is one of the latest, iirc.

A prosperous 2009,
