Buddy,
Many possibilities...
Try the quick, easy fix first. Clear the IE cache from IE> Tools> Internet
Options> General> Delete files and Delete offline content. Reset the TIF
folder size to about 50MB (Settings button) and clear it occasionally.

Additional information from Mike Burgess:
Are you using a Firewall or "filtering software"?
Several of these are known to cause problems:
1) Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?]
Reset "Ad Blocking" and "Cookie Control" to "medium"
"Mobile Code Control" = Off
2) Symantec (ISS\NIS)[Enable Browser Privacy - enabled]
Active Content - "Allow All Script To Execute"
Problem: some sites cannot detect the 128 bit encryption
Solution: Completely remove and reinstall NIS.

3) Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer"
or contains entries that are blocking access to the desired site.
4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
site.
5) Cookie blocking software that are blocking "required" Cookies.
6) Pop-up blockers that are stripping header\url info.
7) WebWasher Standard Filter/URL Filter
8) Make sure the following entry is not corrupt:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"User Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32)"
Note: "Win32" = Windows 98\ME
Other versions = (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0
To check your "User Agent":
Paste the below into the Address Bar and view the output:
javascript:navigator.userAgent
[Example WinME output]
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)

Hello...basically my problem is this. While surfing I cannot get the
images and pictures to display. I just get the annoying Red X. This
problem happens sporadically on many different webpages. I run Norton
Internet Security and Anti-Virus. Also have checked all my sercurity
settings for the Norton firewall and that is not causing the problem. When
I do see this Red X I can right click the X and choose 'Show Picture' and it
will appear. This is just getting too annoying. Could this problem be with
my browser? Refreshing the page will not make the pictures appear either.
Like I said, this is a problem that doesn't always happen. Its random pages
as well because I could visit a site now and it load fine, only to visit the
same site again in an hour and the images will not display. Any suggestions
would be very much appreciated and welcome. Thank you!
