Someone kindly help me with this problem

[Gary]

In the last few weeks, I have had a real problem loading
images onto a page. It doesn't apply to all the pages
that load, although the most problems occur when
downloading an email attachment or a link to another web
page. Instead of the image (photo, drawing, etc.), I get
a frame that has a little box at the upper lefthand side
of the frame. In the little box, there is a red square
at the top left, a green circle on the right, halfway
down, and a blue triangle on the bottom left.

I don't even have a clue as to what this is, but I
surmise that it signifies something. Does anyone out
there know what it means, and what can I do to correct it
in order to see the pictures? I am running Windows XP
Home, with the Sygate Firewall.

Thanks in advance.

I've had the same thing happen, even without a firewall
running at all. I read somewhere that it had something to
do with not having a java virtual machine (msjvm)
installed or something, but yeah, I'm not 100% sure about
that..

So what's the problem, Dean?

Perhaps you could post a link to a picture or a site that you are having
problems with?

Here is a link to the Southcoast Diaries webpage. The
picture doesn't show up, just the frame with a blank
page, and the little square box in the upper left hand
corner that has the red square, green circle, and blue
triangle in it. Someone told me that I needed Java, so I
downloaded it from the Sun website, but to no avail. I
don't know if there is more than one type of Java, but
whatever the case, it didn't help. Perhaps this will give
you a clue as to what I need to do. Any help would
certainly be greatly appreciated, thanks.
