Web Problem

I'm hoping someone with computer knowledge can help me
out:
I'm having trouble viewing certain images.
Example: The following website is for a local record
store near my home: www.letitbe.com If you visit this
site you will notice a scrolling banner ad on the top for
contests,etc. The banner ad simply doesn't appear on my
screen. I figured it was my Norton Internet Security
2004 (antivirus and firewall) causing the problem...so I
turned it off entirely, but still have the same problem.
The images just aren't there. Maybe it is a Windows XP
security setting I need to adjust? On another site where
I have the same problem, www.livephish.com (unable to
view s scrolling banner/image), the FAQ for that site
suggests to "make sure your network administrator is
allowing HTTP access on port 8000 on your machine." To
be honest I have no idea what this means or how to check
it. I amdoubting this is the problem. The only thing I
can imagine blocking a "port" would be the firewall but,
like I said, I turned that off and am still having the
same problem. The second site, www.livephish.com, is
supposed to show a scrolling son title in the "Now
Playing" box in the upper right conrner. I am unable to
see that scrolling amage on my screen.
Can anyone see a similarity between the livephish.com
buttons/scrolling song title & the banner ad on top of
www.letitbe.com? Is it a java thing or a flash problem
maybe? What exactly is my computer not allowing in?!
Any troubleshooting help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thi is driving me CRAZY! Please take a second and
check those sites to see if there is a similarity in the
stuff not showing up on my screen. I'm thinking XP must
be blocking something.
You have no idea how happy it would make me to solve this
problem.
Thanks a lot!

hi from what you describe it seems like you have an AD
BLOCKER......its not your Norton. Dont ever turn off your
firewall!!! Plus norton is a real problem within your pc,
conflicts with other programes.

I would suggest you go immediately to www.macfee.com
download their online SCAN, check your pc for any virus,
then get TREND MICRO PC CILLIN antivirus instead of
Norton. You can get it from KAZAA (www.kazaa.com) free
but it will not be up to date, then again no antivirus
programe is up to date! With in Norton or PC Cillin OR
Zonealarm if you are running it is AD BLOCKER options.
Also if you are running yahoo messenger, it comes with an
automatic AD BLOCKER. I never use yahoo because of this.
MSN MEssenger is a better programe.

Hope this helps

You were doing O.K. until you suggested this:

"You can get it from KAZAA (www.kazaa.com) free
but it will not be up to date, then again no antivirus
programe is up to date!"

Please do NOT go to kazaa for anything-unless you want
the beta versions of every virus,trojan and piece of
malware under development.
I'm no fan of Norton,but you've paid for it,now.Use it
til the license expires at least-don't even think about
installing cracked software.It will be the start of huge
and prolonged troubles.

This problem probably is due to ad-blocking software.You
*might* be able to over-ride the ads-blocking on your
favourite sites by adding them to the trusted sites zone
in I.E.

There again,if you are running XP without the old virtual
machine for java (post SP1a),it is possible that the site
features mentioned are java-based and you will need Sun's
java machine or equivalent to view them.
