Delay in loading png images in IE

Hi all,

Can some one help me in this issue. My application consists only png images where it takes normal time to get loaded in all browsers except IE.

In IE i can see nearly 950 requests where other browsers show only around 65 requests. Here i have attached the screen shot which i took using httpwatch in IE.

Here i noticed around 900 requests which is sent to this path "http://localhost:3000/htc/png.htc"\. I googled regarding this issue but i didnt find any best solution.

In google many have posted that "png images not getting uploaded in IE". For me png images are getting loaded, i can see those png images but it is taking long time to get loaded.

Thanks in advance, shanmu
