Solve : Information "popup" doesn't appear- www.live.com- live image search?

Answer»

When I search images on the live search website, I could hover the mouse over a picture and it would jump into a small window with a white border- it would show information about the IMAGE- file size, name, dimensions. This worked a few days AGO. Now when I hover the mouse, the popup type window doesn't appear- all I GET is a small tag that appears and lists the file name. Another nearby computer works fine- the window appears as I remember. Both COMPUTERS are running XP SP2. Browser is Internet explorer 6, sp2. I tried system restore to a date before the problem this week, but it didn't help. ALSO deleted all cookies and temp internet files folder. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.Quote

Exactly what website are you talking about? What's the URL?Sorry- I'm referring to www.live.com- the former MSN search, I believe. Click on the images tab.

What browser function makes this window appear?I'm using IE 7 and Firefox browsers. I looked at www.live.com with both and did an images search with both. Both browsers displayed the results fine, but IE does not show "information about the image- file size, name, dimensions." Firefox does show that info.

This is what I see in IE 7. I also started my old Win 98SE computer, with IE 6, and viewed an images search results. It worked the same, it only showed a small tag that appears and lists the file name.

If that other computer you mentioned is getting the "information about the image- file size, name, dimensions" with IE 6, I don't know what to tell you to get IE to do that. So, all I can suggest is install Firefox.
