Driverheaven loaded something that killed IE

Guys - we run a PNG filtering system here on DH so we can show transparent PNG's in IE. We do this because IE can't show PNG's with a transparent background by default, but it can when filtered through DirectX.

The downside is that ALL images need to be loaded or cached before filtering can be done.

This is what you're seeing - if any PNG isn't loaded when referenced off-site it stops all new images from loading.

I've removed the PNG filter. This may help you guys
