JarC this is pix from my first post here,nothing changed.
In appearance, yes, but they're definitely not the same now, and neither is the image from the first time the same (I saved a copy the first time), but read on, maybe an explanation.
Ok, here's what i think has happened, you uploaded this image the first time, and you couldn't get it to show, so you tried your own version and it worked. We also did not see an image on the link in the first post when you reported this the first time.
I happened to save that image when you posted the link, and it shows fine in Explorer but does not in IE/M1/M2,
later you post your reference link which shows fine in IE/M1/M2, but at that point the one in the first link also works.
then you post a link to a zip for download, and yet again something is changed on the page in the first post, the image it now points to, is even smaller than the first time. and also in a different location and named differently. Besides that, the first time the page was a simple div with image map, and now it's html file generated by MS Word. Showing locations of both the old and the new image

My guess, the first time you uploaded that image, the connection probably got aborted, resulting in a corrupted image. As there's now two different images at both locations, there's not much point in claiming they are identical, my guess is that the other host has modified the image by now so that it too shows again, All it took here was reopening the 'broken' image and resaving it again to make it show in IE, so thats what the host in the first post probably has done too.
And what's that about always needing a map file?
<a href="link to index page"><img src=welcome.jpg></a> works just as good for what you're doing with that page, click the image and you're transfered to the idnex page.
