If you can see the first picture but not the second, which is Interlaced GIF, or the third, which is a JPEG, then there is something weird about your browser setup. You need to enable JPEGs as all the pictures in the Virtual Alps are in this format. JPEGs are 24-bit colour and to make sense of them you need to have your monitor set to display at least 256 colours. "True" colour (16- or 24-bit) is a bit better if possible.
If viewing using a 256-colour display, your Netscape browser should be set, under Options/General Preferences/Images, to 'Dither'.
On a PC the display colour depth can be changed using the Windows Setup utility - but if you have an oldish PC you might have to stay with 16 colours, which is adequate and preferable for most purposes on a slower machine, and you will be browsing in text only - so you'll need to find your fun elsewhere.
If your computer is fitted with a dedicated graphics card with its own memory, then 256 or more colours should not be a problem - refer to the setup instructions for your graphics card.

If you can see the third picture but not the fourth, then your browser does not support Progressive JPEGs. This site will slowly be upgraded to include pictures in this format, so for maximum enjoyment please upgrade to Netscape v2.01 or Explorer v3.02 or later, or any other browser which supports Progressive JPEG.
