Flare problem: Images not displaying in WebHelp

[magk -at- mindspring -dot- com]

Hi,

I used MadCap Flare to build a WebHelp-based online help system. Everything displays well in Firefox, but none of my images display in IE. I submitted a support call to MadCap and downloaded a copy of my project, but have not heard anything else.

I also checked MadCap's knowledge base and tried a solution posted there, but this did not work. 


Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Gina

>"Alias" in this context is Microsoftese for your network account ID.)

>are not subject to this rule.  However, you must take a 100-day break

>vendor to agency temp is no problem; your 365-day clock only starts when
>you start as an a-dash.  And of course you can go from either status to
>employee with no hiatus.)

>What's the difference between the two types of contracts?  Vendors must

>or entirely off site, often at home.  Vendor contracts are typically for
>the duration of a project rather than for a specific period of time.
>Agency temps, on the other hand, are provided their equipment and
>on-site office by Microsoft.  Their contracts are time-limited.

>To further confuse matters, it is possible to do a vendor contract
