Add media files from your computer Fails in Wordpress 2.9.2

I am having an interesting issue with my WordPress 2.9.2 blogs.  On one of our computers, when I go to upload a file to it from my computer, I select the file and it says it is uploaded and says “Crunching…”.  Then I just get a blank rectangle with no image. 

• I tried “the Browser uploader instead” but it also failed.
• If I click “Save All Changes” I just get a blank list.

After a while of trying to solve this, I was rather frustrated and decided to try something that has worked for some issues that I had with Google Maps recently.  I deleted all the temporary files (in IE8, go to “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Browsing History” and click “Delete”.  I made sure that “Temporary Internet Files” was selected (you should be able to leave “Cookies” alone so that you keep your account info).

After a while, it was finished and the graphics loaded perfectly!
