Why are pictures are covering up text in the body of the story?

I have been trying to find which setting for webpage display will eliminate the incidences of pictures associated with the story as well as not associated with the story covering up portions of other pictures and of text.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident by using "Zoom Text Only" (i.e. not full page zoom). Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))

If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

None of this helped; I have a widescreen monitor (Dell 2405FPW; 20" wide x 13" tall viewing area) set at 1920 x 1200 as recommended, is there any possibility this would affect how webpages display? Also, the initial "homepage" displays fine, but if I click a link to a story (say from MSN.com) then the problem occurs. Thanks
