Jan,

Sorry I wasn't more specific. Yes, this is on a very paranoid Win2K system.
Guess I'll have to do without the nice icons when I'm at that facility.

Thanks.

This could only happen if the alpha filter we use to workaround IE
incapability to display PNGs with alpha transparency, is not installed on
your windows. As this filter was introduced with some DirectX version long
long ago, this should only happen on very old, very broken, or very
paranoid windows systems.
