IE7 Problems with Signing In AND image problems

PLEASE HELP!
I am having problems with a couple of sites I use regularly and have in the
past been able to sign in to. Now, using Internet Explorer 7, I can't get
signed in. Each time I enter my username and password it just returns me to
the sign in page as if nothing has happened. I can get signed in using other
browsers like Safari.
Additionally, images on some sites look "wrong" it's as if certain pictures
on certain sites are "blurry"
PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH INTERNET EXPLORER!

Thank you!!!

Hi,
Windows XP or Vista?

Blurry images:
1. Clear the Temporary Internet Files
2. In Internet Options> Advanced> Multimedia, uncheck "Enable automatic
image resizing" if it's checked.
2. Are you running a download accelerator/web accelerator, probably provided
by your ISP? AOL, NetZero, Earthlink and others make these available to
dial-up customers. They degrade image quality as a side effect. Check the
System Tray/Notification Area and Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) to see if
an accelerator program is running.

Sign-in problems (check after each step)
1. Try clearing the Temporary Internet Files, History and Cookies from
Internet Options> General> Browsing History> Delete> (next screen) etc.
2. With the warning that a reset will delete autocomplete data, such as
passwords and you will have to reinstall or re-enable browser add-ons, work
through this article:
936213- How to optimize or reset Internet Explorer 7:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936213/en-us
3. From Internet Options> Privacy, try a setting of Low or Accept all or
place the troublesome sites in the list as "Allow."
4. Take a close look at any third-party security/privacy programs that are
running. See if a cookie manager/cookie blocker/privacy feature has been
turned on. CCleaner installed? Disable its cookie manager.
