Question: When I click to open an image in Internet Explorer 6 the image doesn't look right, like it hasn't be sized properly, is there a way to fix this?

Answer: I had the same problem myself. I got frustrated with my own Web graphics because I knew how they were supposed to look. I finally went through my Internet Explorer setting and came to the conclusion that IE was trying to resize my images. While I can see how this can be a good thing, it also has some bad qualities. To turn off Automatic Image Resizing you need to open Internet Explorer and then go to Tools|Internet Options|Advanced. Now if you scroll down to the Multimedia options, you will see how you can uncheck "Enable Automatic Image Resizing." Just click OK when you are done, then close your Internet Explorer windows. Now when you open an image in Internet Explorer, you can see it in the intended size and glory.
