div containers don't appear in IE 5.x on a certain machine on others they do

Hi all,

after almost finishing a web site I noticed a misbehaviour in IE5.00.0035 on
the machine of the customer (Win2k). The web site is
http://www.griechenhausleipzig.net
All div containers appear strange
- without any color
- without any background images
- only the the pure text of content and links appear (the selectbox also)
The confusing part to me is I tested all pages in IE 5.0 and IE 6.0 and all
worked fine for me on my machine (w2k, IE 5.00.3900, opera, mozilla, firefox
as well of course).
I updated the IE5.0 to IE 6.0 browser on the 'mysterious' customer machine .
It ended up with the same result. The IE6.0 browser show the site in the
same wrong way as the IE5.0 did.

I installed firefox on the mysterious machine. The site appears how it
should be.
Nevertheless IE5/6 don't work on this certain machine but on all other it
works. I have no idea about this. What can be going wrong on a windows based
machine to cause this behaviour?
Did anybody encounter similar weird appearences?

Any pointers would be appreciate.
Thanks in advance

Manny

Tools > Internet Options > General > Accessibility
Are any of the options checked?

I'm guessing, but I'd start by looking at Tools> Internet options>
General> Accessibility

Mine only sets "Ignore font sizes specified on web pages", but
maybe theirs has some of the other Ignore options set.

After that I'd consider some of the items on the Advanced menu.

Updating the software will normally inherit these settings from
the previous installation.

No, nothing. All of these options are unchecked.
But I played around with these options and the first one 'Ignore color
specified on web pages' caused a similar behaviour aforementioned. That's
very nice to know. I haven't been played with these options ever before.
Thank you for the pointer.

No options are checked (unfortunately, the first one looked like the wrong
behaviour).
After that I'd consider some of the items on the Advanced menu. I investigated this section but no options does fit to cause that behaviour.
Updating the software will normally inherit these settings from
the previous installation.

If nothing helps then I'd go and remove the IE completely and install and
new and virgin IE once again.

Thanks for the help
