Images in new install demo store look weird

I just installed Zen Cart for the first time (my first shopping cart ever, for that matter) on my Web host for personal use with the intention of learning the system. During the installation I chose to have the Demo store installed so I could have something to "play" with.

The installation (v1.3.8a) went surprisingly well (way to go devs!), but the images in the demo store don't display right - they're either flattened to some extent, reduced to a single line, or not there at all.

See this image for a screenshot of what they look like.

I found an FAQ about images not displaying right that had instructions to set the height or width to 0, and set Calculate Image Size to "true" and "Use Proportional Images on Products and Categories" to 1 in Configuration --> Images. However, that didn't do anything.

I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know what I'm missing/need to do.

Thanks!

Re: Images in new install demo store look weird

Make sure your FTP program is set to automatic, not ASCII or binary. The php files need one and images needs the other - so you need FTP to auto-detect and send them in the correct format.
