My internet explorer does not show pictures in the new “standard version”, though I would prefer this. However, there is no “switch to standard version” button at the bottom of the page. My wife is using the exact same version of internet explorer (8.0.6001.18975) and hers has the button and she can switch back and forth between the two versions. What do I do so I can start using the standard version?
