I have a simple introductory type index page with 4 lines of text, with a graphic after the third line that is also a link to the rest of the site. The issue is that the graphic does not appear for some users. I don't have enough data yet to know for sure what they have in common.
The graphic is not visible in Dreamweaver MX 6.0 Design View, which may be a clue, but it works fine when I F12 to IE 6 SP2, and I don't have to do the "Allow blocked content" thing for this page, even though I am running on XP Home SP2.
When I view the actual site the page works fine in IE 6 or Netscape 7.2 but is apparently not working for some users in that the graphic does not appear. Someone told me it is an "XP SP2 security thing" with no further details but I don't know if I buy that since it works fine for me. Any clues or special things I need to do to make a graphic "SP2 compliant"?
Also, I doubt it makes any da*n difference but the graphic file name has underscores and a hyphen in it.
I realize I should probably redo this site with a .css to simplify it but don't have time right now. I don't think it is that complex anyway.
I have provided a text link in the last line so users can get around this issue but I would still like to solve it if possible. I am attaching the code below with the text, title, and filenames changed to protect the innocent, as they say : ^ ). Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Don't call it banner or banners. They get automatically blocked by many advert blockers. Certain sizes of image also have a propensity to be blocked.
You're right Ken, file names, folders and image names with the word 'banner', 'ad' and quite a few others, do get blocked by the pop up blockers... so I'm sure as soon as that folder name is changed, it will all miraculously appear :-D
Play around with the path, insert a '/' before banner and check it, or include the absolute value of your image. If nothing works, then is probably a permission problem or that the image just don't exist.
