We opened the image in GIMP, resaved it and it works fine now in IE. The same can probably be achieved in Photoshop if you convert the image to RGB but we've not tested this.

I couldn't find much info on it but I did find this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/iewebdevelopment/thread/16e6a84c-dd73-4ca1-9a57-fe4f44582d69/ I just emailed you the file so you can have a look. Yet one more reason to hate IE. I wasn’t aware of it either until just recently.

I wasn't aware of that problem in IE. At what size does it fail? I had a problem a while ago with IE where it was (and still is, I presume) failing to display TIFFs (or was it CMYK JPGs?) and thought it was due to the colour profile or something. I gave up and simply added instructions to IE users to right-click and download to view. I have no hair because of IE and I curse it on a daily basis. Oh? I wasn’t aware of that problem in IE.

That's why I've been laying a little low. I noticed you've been a little quiet too. How have you been? I thought the convert cmd was way cool because I have an immediate need for it ;) I need to display very large images in a web browser but unfortunately. Most browsers can do it with no problem but IE _still_ can't do it (how long has Microsoft been working on that product??). So I've been displaying them in PDF files. So convert is a really convenient way to transform the images. Doing great but I’ve been incredibly snowed under with work for a few months. That’s why I’ve been laying a little low.

But, yes, it was useful and I figured I'd probably be using that again some time. How are you by the way? Well, I wouldn’t go quite that far.
