Had a bit of a wierd PC crash - gave me a BSOD with "cannot load hive - corrupt or missing". Anyway, it came back to life this evening and now I don't see any of the main banner ads in gassing station. The small ones within the threads appear, but not the ones at the top of the window.

Norton Security has an ad blocker built in which is often enabled by default. I built in mechanisms to circumvent it but I've switched to a third party advert server recently which it probably blocks successfully.

Turned out to be missing registry entries. Once I'd re-registered jscript.dll and vbscript.dll it all started working again.
