Why can't my computers see the images?

I have a laptop and a desktop. Both are running versions of Internet Explorer 7 (one is the latest; the other is missing the most recent update). They both have Java. Neither one shows some Garbage Bin images on this one page set up with favourite songs. I asked how to remove items and was told to click on the garbage bins, which apparently can be seen on other computers, but not mine. One lady from the website checked my account and she can see it; she's running the same version of IE7 as my laptop. If I copy and paste, the garbage bins are there. When I visit the site, they're not.

What's going on? Why would the garbage bins show up on other computers but not mine?

    There are several possibilities.

    1) You may not have Java Script turned on while they do.

    2) You may have viruses, trojans, etc. which could be causing this aberrant behavior.

    3) Your firewall can do strange things.

    Microsoft is about to release IE8. It is supposed to be a big improvement on IE7. If there is no rush on deleting songs you could wait for the update. Better still, switch to Firefox 3.0x, soon to be 3.1.

    Try right-clicking on the "songs" which I assume are normal files and see what menu pops up. You may be able to delete them from there.
