IE lost it's PNG support?
Has your installation of Internet Explorer lost it's ability to display PNG files? I recently attempted to upgrade Apple's QuickTime. It apparently decided to hose the IE settings for handling png files. It's easy to fix.
Find the file 'pngfilt.dll' on your machine. It should be found in the system32 folder. Mine happened to be at d:\winnt\system32\pngfilt.dll yours may be on some other drive letter. Don't use the one in the dllcache folder. From either a cmd or Run prompt execute this:
regsvr32 d:\winnt\system32\pngfilt.dll
This will let the system know that it should register that DLL for handling png files. I post this here to hopefully aid anyone else searching for a fix.
