Red x's on websites,I had red x's on ebay.try tools,internet options,privacy,sites, I removed all and websites that I had trouble viewing came up perfect, no more red x's. You could go through and remove just the sites you are having trouble with but some sites rely on others to function. Ebay relys on double click and it was in the blocked sites. I just removed everything from the blocked sites, now I have no more red x's on the websites I frequent.

I have three computers running WXP networked to broadband. I cannot access images on a particular motorcycle website on the third one only. All internet options settings are definitely identical and I have fully studied your detailed article on this subject. I do not get red exes but 'show photo' but clicking on image will not open it up. There is absolutely no problem with accessing images on any other website on this third computer which is a laptop. It is a real mystery and I would be most grateful if you have any ideas. Many thanks. Jennifer

I got the red x to go away by just telling the Windows security to let me download Java. It worked for me!
Thank you everybody!

Hi,

We have 2 computers and on 1 I see red exes all over the screen on websites like CNN etc. When I click on the properties I see links like this one:

http://127.0.0.1:1026/bug.cgi

So all the red exes are bug.cgi things. It seems I need to change the settings on this computer but not sure what to change. Any advice.

Thanks,

Nicole

Actually "127.0.0.1" is a reference to your own computer ... something's not right. I would suspect spyware or a virus actually. My first recommendation would be to scan for both.

I just deleted a supposed to be movie I downloaded from KaZaa and I got it all to work properly again.I guess a virus could do it too.

I can't see pictures that are saved as a jpg file. Its becoming a big problem for me. Is there any way to fix it? I resently re-installed windows XP and it worked before. Is there somthing I need to intsall?

Hi Leo,

Thanks. We did a complete virus and spyware scan and nothing showed up. Any other ideas?

Thank You,
