Wow, I'm glad it is not just MY computer... I have been about ready to throw this two year old sytem in the trash...!
I am on XP-sp3 with IE7 and it does this on a couple sites, but all the time on this site. I found the only way I can go back is to hit the 'refresh' button then as soon as it starts moving then hit the back arrow. However I am going to start trying the alt-left method to see if that works for me...?
Do you also find that most email pictures don't come thru anymore either...?
Don't know what's up but it is driving me nuts.... it may be time for a new Win7 and IE9 setup...?
