I'm using IE 7 and Firefox browsers. I looked at
www.live.com with both and did an images search with both. Both browsers displayed the results fine, but IE does not show "information about the image- file size, name, dimensions." Firefox does show that info.
Now when I hover the mouse, the popup type window doesn't appear- all I get is a small tag that appears and lists the file name.
This is what I see in IE 7. I also started my old Win 98SE computer, with IE 6, and viewed an images search results. It worked the same, it only showed a small tag that appears and lists the file name.
If that other computer you mentioned is getting the "information about the image- file size, name, dimensions" with IE 6, I don't know what to tell you to get IE to do that. So, all I can suggest is install Firefox.
