viewing images when using Microsoft IIS 5 rather than Apache

At our request, our overworked IT team have just installed moodle on our school intranet. (took 2 months)  We love it but are finding a few hitches. The first is that we could upload, but not see images. Help had two solutions. Since nobody at the table knew what Apache was, we adopted the second fixit 'slasharguments'. This has worked fine but created a problem with relative addresses with our web pages (faq does warn of this). We approached our IT team to get them to change the Appache settings and they say sorry but we use Microsoft IIS 5. Does anyone know how to work with this package? Heres hoping the answer is simple.

regards

Anne

GD library turned ON, with support for JPG and PNG formats

Thanks for your idea. I checked the variables under 'admin', and yes we do have a GD installed. (GD 2.x). So two questions

Is showing as installed the same as being switched on?

Where do I see whether or not we have support for jpg and png formats?

Thanks Anne

I found that under administration there were all the PNP settings, and so I can see  I do have the GD library enabled. I also found under the FAQ, instructions for working with IIs 5 rather than apache. Which I will forward to our IT people.

But I meanwhile tested our relative web links with slash arguements set to the original address. Below is the error message. Can anyone shed some light. I'm concerned that both C and D drives are referenced.
