IE not displaying JPEGS

[Bill Teschek]

I'm hoping someone can help me with what is probably a simple fix. 
On one of our computers running IE 5.5, when I try to view an html 
page with images, and the URL is a drive/path rather than an http 
link, the images won't display. The web page itself will display just 
fine, with the URL reading z:\library\....\filename.htm, but the images 
on those pages are only showing placeholders. The link to the 
image is correct, as the same pages work fine on all other 
computers in the building, and this computer does have full rights to 
the image folders on z:

When I cut and paste the drive/path URL from IE into Netscape, 
Netscape will display the image properly. Just before this happened 
I changed this computer's default browser from Netscape to IE 
using the set default browser utility located on the Public Web 
Browser website. I don't know if IE would have worked properly 
before this change, because we were not using it on this particular 
computer.

Another clue perhaps... jpegs are associated with LView on this 
computer. When I add an href link to the img src link on this page, it 
should allow me to click on the image and display that image alone 
and separate from the rest of the page, but even that will only 
display a placeholder. The LView icon appears before the drive/path 
URL in the address bar.

Ideas?
