Removing a:hover{background-color} from linked images in IE

[nyxynyx]

Hello, how can I prevent the background color from showing on images with links when the mouse is over the image? It happens in IE but not FF. I have a a:hover { background-color: red} and its causing linked images to have a background-color on mouseover. Thought it'll be a easy problem but a search didnt reveal anything... Thnx!

a:hover img {background-color:#fff}

(or whatever background colour your page uses).
