Problem loading certain pages
Hello,
I am having some problems opening certain websites, and surprisingly the problem is in all my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE). This is a new computer (Windows 7 64bit), so I'm not sure if it could be a driver issue or something like that.
Here is an example website: http://ie3global.ous.edu/find/ website
Here I cannot see the map that is supposed to be under "World Region." I also cannot see any content under the other tabs. When I go on a friend's computer, I CAN see the content that is supposed to be there.
Another website when I have problems is: http://www.girleffect.org/about/
When I click on the arrows next to the questions, no answer drops down for me. The arrow changes color, but I don't see any new content.
This is happening on many more websites, and I have no idea how to fix this. It is so frustrating because I can't read the content on many websites.
On my various browsers, I have installed Java and Flash and made sure they are enabled, but am not sure what the problem may be.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Thanks, I tried that, but the problem is not the color and style. Is there any way to add screenshot to this post?
I figured it out. Here is a screenshot of what I see.
Did you check the Windows Accessibility settings?
If it happens in other browser as well then you need to look there.
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
- Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
- Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
- Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
- Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
There are also extensions like Adblock Plus (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.
