red x for images when viewing web pages offline

[Mike]

I'm currently working on a web site, so I like to test my
pages offline before I upload them. However, all of my
images appear as red x's in Internet Explorer. I know
that my code is correct and the image files are properly
referenced because everything works perfectly in
Netscape. Also the pages work fine when uploaded, and I
can surf the web just fine the Internet Explorer as well.
It just seems that Internet Explorer has decided it no
longer wants to show jpegs or gifs offline. It won't show
them in an HTML document and it won't even load the image
file by itself. Does anyone have an answer for this? It's
kind of tedious always having to upload a page to test it
in Internet Explorer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mike

Red X Instead of Images - Can't see or save Images/Pictures

I can't see JPG's or GIFS any more - red x - images missing - fuzzy
images/distorted images

or..........

Try clearing the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and
delete offline content.)

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

Pictures Do Not Show
http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/redx.htm

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.

How to Activate Scaling
Internet Explorer 6 and later automatically adjusts the scale on higher
resolution systems when the DPI setting is higher than 96 DPI and the
"UseHR" registry value is added to the registry. These are usually done by
the manufacturers of higher resolution systems.

Set the DPI
These are the steps for changing the DPI setting on your system.

Right-click the Windows desktop to display the context menu.
Click Properties on the context menu to display the Display Properties
dialog.
Click the Settings tab on the Display Properties dialog to display the
Settings tab.
Click the Advanced button on the Settings tab to display the monitor
properties dialog.
Select a DPI setting in the Display frame of the monitor properties dialog
to change the DPI setting.
Restart your system to allow the changes to take effect.

Run REGEDIT to add the UseHR Registry Entry
The UseHR value is added to the Main key under "Internet Explorer" as
follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
Main
UseHR= dword:00000001

If the solution from Dell support works for you, don't bother with the
registry fix from msdn.

Hope this helps.
