Browsers won't open web pages, internet explorer nor opera will display web pages.

I have an old Acer net book that's running XP. Everything still seems to work except neither internet explore nor Opera will display web pages. The computer is attached to the internet because I can get to some pages, but they are just displayed as lines of text links and no images. It worked fine the last time I used it but that was a few years ago.

    Try to clear the browser cache. Hope it helps.

    The oldest browsers don't support many of the functons web pages require and that might be a portion of the issue. Also the speed of the WiFi can affect whether the page even tries to display graphics.
