MSN only displays text. Firefox IE both. Rebooting router/modems corrects the problem for awhile.

Everything runs great for a few weeks and the right out of the blue MSN home page only displays partial imiages and the rest of the imiages display text only. Rebooting the modem and router and desk top corrects the problem for a couple of weeks. Help.

Something that only occurs every few weeks is going to be hard to debug.

Next time it happens, could you try reloading the page bypassing cached pages? You can do that using Ctrl+Shift+r to force a full reload from the server. If that works, then most likely some files in Firefox's cache became corrupted.

Not sure why you would simultaneously have the same issue in IE, though. Hmmm...

Is there any coincidence with Firefox updating?

Files can easily get corrupted and a reload and possibly bypass the cache (Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R) should normally correct such an issue with corrupted files in the cache.
I have have to do that on this forum as well.
