Images in IE6 show as red X

[The One]

Hi All,

the images in IE, on my son's PC, only show as white squares with a red X
in teh middle. If I change the encoding to be Western European (Windows)
everything works fine.

How can I make thi sthe default setting ?

TIA

Hi The One

Try the following and see if it helps:

Red X Instead of Images - Can't see or save Images/Pictures
Fuzzy Text and fuzzy web graphics

Change the DPI setting from Large to Normal and see if that helps.

or........

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
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
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
delete offline content.)

also try...................

Pictures Do Not Show

or.......................

Right click on the graphic you see and a pop up menu should appear. Select
"Show Picture" option.

Then, go to Internet Options>Advanced Tab
Show Pictures - check option if
unchecked to display pictures all the time.
