    No idea as to why does IE get wasted (1 pixel causes a loop?) after it
    tries to display the error.jpg, however you can get IE working again and
    diplaying pics without restart:
    
    Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> Multimedia heading -> untick
    'Show pics' -> Apply -> tick 'Show pics' -> Apply.
    
    Not a fix, but shows that error.jpg doesn't actually get busted, and will
    dispay pics after a simple 'reset'.

        I think you missed the point:
    
        "... IE gets messed up, and will not show any other pictures
        , until you restart your IE."
    
        Important part being "will not show any other pictures
        until". I confirmed this.
    
        What's interesting is that the picture is full of xml style
        comments/properties (whatever).
