I have been using the active desktop feature to keep tabs on my network
monitors (provided by MRTG and PRTG). However my active desktop no longer
displays these images (you can see white backgrounds where they should be).
Instead I am prompted to download the image each time my desktop
synchronizes. If I choose to save the image is saved as a file that appears
to have no mime type and I must select an application to view it. If I use
IE to view the image URL directly the image displays just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance!
