Red "x" in window

[Guest]

When I try to view some websites, and also when I try to bring up a download
(like a pdf file) I sometimes get a blank window with a small red "x" in the
top left corner. Can anyone suggest what settings I would need to do to be
able to view the information? Thanks.

I'm having the exact same issue after installing sp 2. Have you gotten a
resolution yet?

 

[Rebecca Maza]

After installing SP2, Internet Explorer automatically tries to block all pop
up windows and images that it feels may be unwanted ads. Usually when it
does this, a small bar will show up at the top of the web page you are
viewing that will say something like "Internet Explorer has blocked this
website from opening a pop up window.... click here" You should click there
and see if it gives you options to allow whatever it has blocked.
Otherwise, it may just be a problem concerning broken links for the image
within the website itself.

Hi GAA

You don't mention what version of Windows you have, but, 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.

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...................

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.

Try uninstalling acrobat reader, and then re-installing it and getting the
latest updates that are available. That should work.
