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.

Red X Instead of Images -
Can not see or save Images/Pictures
Fuzzy Text and fuzzy web graphics
Change the DPI setting from Large to Normal and see if that helps.
I can't see JPG's or GIFS any more - red x - images missing - fuzzy
images/distorted images

To restore the default file association, go to

Download, unzip and merge the REG file, "JPE/JPG/JPEG Association Fix"
Some image/graphics programs will change file associations.
or..........
Try clearing the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and

How to make a good newsgroup post:
http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm
Since installing new PC running XP SP2 and IE6 some WEB sites do not display
pictures just placeholders with RED Xs.
Also Hover Buttons created with Frontpage 2000 display as small boxes with
the RED X and they cannot be used.
The majority of sites are OK and some that don't display hover buttons
display graphics Ok on same page and vica versa.
I try the sites on other machines running IE6 (W2K and ME) and they are fine.
Any ideas please>
