your help would be much appreciated

Pictures are blocked along with on line checking account statements and other documents.
I get a blank white screen with a little box in the upper left corner with a red square, blue triangle, and green circle. What's happening?

I occasionally have the same 'red square, green triangle and blue circle problem as Tom (Sep 27'05) and Heather (June 24'05), and have even found this on loading someone's instruction manual CD. Problem is unresolved by Tony's suggestion (July 1'05). Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated. I was thinking that it was merely indicating that to read it I needed a special programme from somewhere.....

Hello,

I created a menu button bar for my website. It
works and shows up in IE and Netscape but not
Firefox. Here is link to the page.

It is the buttons with the years 1960-1968 on the
bottom.

Thank you.

Hi,

I fixed it. I had to change the image locations.

Thanks,

I know what you mean by that...in my case my computer always was able to open pictures in the website www.picture.com....and then there is the puzzle contest on that page...I click it and it should take me to a page that is a picture puzzle..like I said unfortunately when I get on that puzzle page the picture is not there and the little red x is....I dont know the email address to contact picture.com or I would ask them if there is a glitch in their system...I have norton antivirus and dont know how to check if its the reason..when I bring it up I only get info for norton 2003 and 2004----I have norton 2005.....also I have windows xp professional with the service pack 2....and also the new windows firewall and security system with microsoft antispyware...if you can let me know if any of these items might be aproblem...and how I can solve this so I can go into the picture puzzle I dearly love to do ...thank you for your help ahead of time...vickie cloud

This was really helpful advise. My computer would not show any pictures on my space.com or a lot of the apparel websites, or delta.com. I adjusted my google adblocker & now my pictures show!

This might help someone. I spent the last week trying to get rid of red x's. I tried all of the suggestions, nothing worked. I was ready to reinstall windows. This evening I turned off my turbo booster that comes with my internet provider and the red x's went away. I turned it back on and they came back, so it's off for now. Hope this is of use to someone.

Some pics show up others don't on websites , This just all of a sudden started, on my computer at work they all show up. Any Ideas?

I have 2 meg broadband i have checked Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, and then in the Multimedia section of the list, there's an item Show Pictures.
this is on but i still wait and get no picture.
Also i cannot view movie trailers even though I have flash player 8 what do you suggest?
many thanks
