White box with red X

[Guest]

My son is signing up for an internet game. We can't view some important
pages/forms. For example, to change his password a screen with a small white
box in the upper left corner with a red X in it is all I get. Is there
something that can remedy this???

For starters he can clean up his system. Open IE (Internet Explorer)
and click Tools>Internet Options>click Delete Cookies and Delete Files,
including offline content. Doing a Google search for this problem gave
me more than 10 pages of hits. Here are a few of them:
