embedded video problems

[Jim]

I'm having a problem with many websites where instead of a
specific graphic or embedded video I will get a box with
an icon (x) in the top left hand corner of that box. I'm
currently using Windows XP with Internet Explorer 6 as my
browser. Past history; all worked fine up to a month ago
when I had my hard drive reformmated due to problems. If
anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.

Report back if still no joy.

Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.
If still no joy then have a look at this page for other issues.
