See red X's instead of pics

[Jay]

When looking up certain web pages I get red x's where the
picture should display. Any suggestions?

Jay,
Pictures Are Not Displayed on Web Sites in Internet Explorer

Are you using a Firewall or "filtering software"?

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.

3) Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer"
or contains entries that are blocking access to the desired site.

4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
site.
Symtom: Page cannot be displayed / Cannot find server or DNS Error

In the event you can not access a site or missing graphics and
you believe it may be due to an entry in the HOSTS file.

You can use a simple batch file to rename the HOSTS file "on-the-fly".

5) Cookie blocking software that are blocking "required" Cookies.

6) Pop-up blockers that are stripping header\url info.

7) WebWasher Standard Filter/URL Filter

Hey, I don't have an answer, but wanted you to know you

are not the only one. My email has been doing the same
thing the last few months on any pictures that are inside
the body of the email and not as an attachment. I can get
them in but when I try to forward them on, the recipient
just gets a box with a red X in the top left corner where
the picture should have been. I've downloaded the lastest
IE version and packet and it says I have the latest
version of OE so I don't know what else to do. Hopefully
someone will be able to answer us both.

Please see my post on 12/08/03 titled "Finally a REAL fix for IE not
loading small GIF images!!!" and see if that helps you. None of the MVP
or MS supplied "solutions" did a thing to fix the problem for me, till I
found this answer. Let us know if it works for you.
