Show Pictures is checked.  Images display normally except for the
backgrounds.  I would have dismissed this as some quirk with his computer
but someone else he knows has the same problem.  They both think the website
I built for them looks terrible (http://www.jumboloans4u.com) because some
of my images are supposed to blend into the background--but they can't see
one!  They can't see background images for any website so it is not my
coding.  I would like to get this fixed so they know that there was a
configuration problem and that I'm not lying to them.
