No pics load (computer problem)

[El Pirata]

Here I finally thought myself lucky that I was able to see the flash posting rules but I noticed that for some reason no pics are showing up on my computer anymore. No images that are saved in my temporary files, no buttons on the forums, no nothing. From the weather channel to RCNT and everything in between there is no image that loads. Throughout the entire time typing this I kept seeing at the bottom of the window: (59 items remaining) Downloading picture...... It's really wierd. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong or how to fix it. I even dropped my firewall temporarily just to see if this was the cause. Thanks.

Restarting was the last thing on my mind because I had had just started my computer a few minutes before and it worked fine for the first minute or two then just stopped.

I've had some very strange things happen without an explanation, and sometimes spent hours trying to figure them out. The last time was a problem with icons. Every icon on the desktop, and every icon for any type of file, even in Windows Explorer, had the Adobe Photoshop logo, with the thin red band saying if it was .jpg or .gif, or Internet Explorer. Fine, but try to read it on a tiny icon. I spent hours doing searches, and updates, and nothing changed. I finally called a friend who's a computer wizard, and the first thing he asked was if I had rebooted. I rebooted, everything was fine.
I recently had the same problem as you, with no graphics loading, I rebooted, and everything was fine.
