Hi,
I've found this information on the web regarding seeing red x's instead of a
picture displayed. Can someone verify the validity of this before I get
into a registry edit. I've tried steps 1-9 to no avail...
Thanks in advance.
And again, I have Windows 98...
SYMPTOMS
When you open a Web page, one or more pictures (graphics or images) may not
be displayed. Instead, a red X, or a placeholder, may appear in place of the
images.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if one of the following conditions is true:
The Web page includes an image type that is not supported by Internet
Explorer.
The Show Pictures check box is not selected on the Advanced tab of the
Internet Options dialog box, or the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory was used
to disable images in Internet Explorer.
The image is displayed based on a script, ActiveX control, cookie, Java
applet, or HTTP referral information, and your computer or network is
configured to block one or more of these features. For example, you may have
Internet Explorer or Symantec Corporation's Norton Internet Security (NIS)
or Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) 2002 configured to block one or more of
these features.
Internet Explorer cannot determine the character set (also called code page
or encoding) that is used by the Web page, or a file or registry key
required to display the Web page with the appropriate character set may be
missing or damaged. By default, Internet Explorer uses the character set
that is specified in the HTTP content type that is returned by the server,
the character set specified by the meta element in the Web page document, or
your Encoding preference if no HTTP content type is returned by the server
and no meta element is specified in the Web page document.
RESOLUTION
To troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps. After each step, check to
see if the issue is resolved. If the issue still occurs, continue
troubleshooting with the next step:
Right-click the red X or placeholder for the image, and then click
Properties. Verify that the image type is supported by Internet Explorer by
examining the Type or Address (URL) values in the Properties dialog box. For
example, a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file will list GIF Image for
Type and the Address (URL) ends with .gif. Internet Explorer displays images
with an .art, .wmf, .emf, .png, .mov, .xbm, .avi, .mpg, .gif, .jpg, .mpeg,
and .bmp extensions.
Start Internet Explorer.
If you have the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory installed, click the Toggle
Images.exe link on the Links toolbar to turn on images.
Note If the Links toolbar is not visible, right-click a blank area of the
toolbar and verify that there is a check next to Links. If the Toggle
Images.exe link is not visible on the Links toolbar, click the arrow with
two angle brackets on the far right-side of the Links toolbar.
Verify that Show Pictures has not been turned off in Internet Explorer:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab, and then verify that the Show Pictures check box is
selected under Multimedia.
Click OK.
Make sure scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, and Java applets are enabled
in Internet Explorer. To do so, follow these steps:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab, and then click Default Level (if it is available)
for the zone which contains the Web page (for example, Internet).
If you are using Internet Explorer 6, click the Privacy tab, and then click
Default (if it is available).
If you are using a third-party Internet security, firewall, or cookie
blocking program, contact the manufacturer of the program for information
about how to enable scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, Java applets,
advertisements, and HTTP referral information. For example, if you have
Norton Internet Security (NIS) or Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) installed,
see the following Symantec Corporation Web sites for additional information
about the various settings in these products that might cause this behavior:

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/docid/2000031311301136
If you access the Internet through a local area network (LAN), contact the
administrator of your LAN to verify that scripting, ActiveX controls,
cookies, Java applets, advertisements, and HTTP referral information are not
blocked by a firewall or other security features on the network.
7. Start Internet Explorer.
8. On the View menu, point to Encoding. If a check does not appear next to
Auto-Select, click Auto-Select.
9. On the View menu, point to Encoding, and then click the appropriate
language for the Web page that you are trying to view. For example, if the
Web page is in English (United States), click Western European (ISO) or
Western European (Windows). If the required language is not available on the
View menu, follow these steps to add it:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click Languages, and then click Add.
Click the appropriate language, and then click OK.
If the problem is not resolved, a file or registry key required to display
the Web page with the appropriate character set may be missing or damaged.
To resolve this problem, restore Windows from a complete system backup or
reinstall (or repair) Windows. If you are running Microsoft Windows
Millennium Edition or Microsoft Windows XP, you may be able to resolve this
issue without restoring or reinstalling Windows by using the System Restore
utility to return your computer to a previous working state. For additional
information about how to use System Restore in Windows Millennium Edition,

Knowledge Base:

Edition

Knowledge Base:

XP
Note that in some cases you may also be able to resolve this problem by
manually editing the registry. For example, if the28591 String value is
missing from the following registry key, a Web page that is encoded for the
Western European (ISO) code page might not display any images:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage
The value for this registry key should be set to the name of the appropriate
code page file in your Windows\System or Windows\System32 folder. For the
Western European (ISO) code page, this value should be either Cp_28591.nls
(Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition) or C_28591.NLS (Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows XP). For additional information about the character
sets that are supported by Internet Explorer, visit the following Microsoft
