I am using Windows XP with all upgrades. Browsers used were Firefox
1.5.0.7, IE6, Netscape 8.1, Mozilla 1.7.13, Opera 9.01, Netscape 4.8,
Amaya 8.1b, and a WebTV viewer program. Because your image is on a
secure page the Amaya browser and WebTV viewer will not display the
image at all. When all of these browsers are in their default settings
as delivered, you view the image at full pixel size, and it appears
exactly the same to me. All have a white background in the default
settings. However in opera you can use f11 to switch between a white
and full-screen black background. You can also select a small image on
Opera. I do not recall any changes in image quality over many upgrades
of most of the mentioned browsers.

How images look is a subjective decision. It depends on the quality of
the photo, the resolution used for the digital image, etc. This can be
very subjective. Unless one has an expert Hollywood makeup artist, a
close up photo of a woman often looks better to many if the photo is
made slightly out of focus. This hides pores, hairs, and tiny skin
blemishes. Thus higher resolution does not always mean "better" on a
subjective basis. Also, many computer monitors and TVs have never been
carefully adjusted for accurate color rendition, contrast, brightness,
etc. Before one starts discussing how images view on two different
computers or TV sets, on should be certain that both have been
calibrated, or the discussion has little meaning. The best way to do
this is to use a calibration DVD designed for adjusting home theatre.
However I have a page that will let you see if the most important
monitor adjustments are far off. It is at
http://www.cwdjr.net/tool/a_color_bars.html . Of course, on an absolute
basis, the images used on most web pages are quite poor because of the
low pixel count used to avoid slow downloads. A good digital photo
these days will be at least 2M and even 10 M for the better cameras.
Enlarge most web page images a bit, and and you will soon see what I
mean.

You mentioned Windows 98 as well as XP. I wonder if 98 has the same
color depth as XP? Color depth has more to do with accuracy of color
rendition than anything else. There could be other things different for
98 or other old OSs that might have some influence on how images are
displayed. I have never used a Windows OS earlier than XP.
