I am currently using Chrome and I am unable to not only see pictures of certain sites but I also am unable to watch any youtube videos saying that I either have an old version of Flash Video or Java Script turned off but after downloading the newest version the problem persists. Please help

I've been having problems with myspace itself, no other site gives me problems. For some reason it takes too long to load and icons/pictures either show a red x or doesnt show at all. I have no clue whats wrong and I've gone through pages of serch engines trying to figure out whats wrong. I came to your site in hopes of finding out how to deal with my problem, but nothing seemed to work. I even tried reseting my internet options. Please reply back or update your blog.

Quite often the search button on a site will not show up. When I tab I get a blank square which will search when I click it. I added a BBC news page to my Yahoo home page and only get a blue box instead of a picture (no red X). Now I have lost the picture from the yahoo news site. Deleting and reselecting didn't help. When I select "change appearance" I don't see anything but when I click on the blank space the size of columns change.

I tried the above, but everything you suggested was already checked. I don't have any content filtering software installed that I know of. The websites that give me the most problems are Amazon and Target. Even my IT guy doesn't know why and he knows everything! Any more suggestions?

I am setup through yahoo/firefox. Advertising sites I have been on are fine except one no pics. I tried internet explorer and can see the pics but will not let me download pics for ads. If I can just get the pics on the yahoo/firefox it would be okay I don't need to use both. New to computers so know little!

I have a system that keeps getting the "Show Pictures" setting turned off. I go in and set it, and everything is fine during that session, but after a logoff or reboot, the setting is gone and has to be turned on again. System is clean for malware, as far as I can tell. Any ideas?

For those with the Red box when using Verizon Internet Security Suite, disable the Ad blocker option. You can find that option it in the Pop-up blocker section of the of the security suite services menu.

Thank you Leo.

I do not know how the view pictures box got unchecked in the Internet Explorer Options, but your solution fixed the problem.

I had even attempted to run the Beta version of Internet Explorer 8.2 hoping it would solve the issue but only after uninstalling it and following your advice was I able to once again view pictures from web pages.

One of the computers on our server is having a problem viewing images and even buttons on websites visited. There is no red 'x' and no downloading icon, only blank white space - which they can roll over with their mouse and view the tag on the appropriate button...only if they know it is there....What could this problem be?

Of all the articles I've read about the red X's NONE of them address the problem if you are running att yahoo e-mail. They do NOT have the same commands that Outlook Express has. Does ANYONE have the problem with ATT Yahoo ???

I have the same problem as William described. On my Yahoo homepage, the pictures in most of the boxes are not showing -- instead I am getting the box filled entirely with the colour red. This started about a month ago and my setting for pictures is enabled. Pics on other sites seem to be coming through fine.

Like everyone else, I don't see any pics on my laptop only from myspace. It seems that's one and the few sites that arent allowing me to view pics. I have also tried like everyone, to disable links, change firewalls, delete temp folders and clean the cache. Its frustrating. Someone told me its a program I have to upload, is that true? If anyone has an idea as to what the heck is causing this, please let me know!! My friends laptops can see pics just fine on myspace.

my problem is only on myspace, and only on my laptop, which i use at home and when i'm on the road. several of my friends' photos are showing that red 'x' in the upper left hand corner. i have tried absolutely everything from turning off my firewall, flushdns, disabling third party browser extensions, to everything i've read from anyone making suggestions, and nothing has worked. could the fact that i'm on dial-up be a factor? my pc at my place of business is showing everything just fine, and i have dsl there. i've also noticed that the only pics turning up with the 'x' are of those friends who recently changed their default photos. this is frustrating the life out of me. can anyone help????

Same issues as others on myspace- I could use another host for photo's but it shows a red X in place of all my friends photo's, family- ALL the photo's that are uploaded into MySpace are just red X to me now. This has been a couple weeks. Started as one here & there- progressed to ALL, over the next couple weeks. I'm looking at canceling membership as it does me no good to be there if I can't see/share the photo's :( I have cleaned cache/temp, tried changing settings... tried EVERYTHING but nothing changes. I sent a note to MS and they sent an automated "answer"- explaining how to "add a friend" LOL That wasn't the problem! MySpace is the ONLY site I am having issues with & prior to the past few weeks- there were NO issues!? I just can't figure it out! I go to MS forum but it doesn't look like there are any other users experiencing this- yet a few here seem to be?

Leo, I had a problem viewing photos at www.AutoTrader.com. All I got in the ads were the little boxes with red "xs" and spent two days trying to resolve the problem. Here's what fixed it for me:

> Click on the "Start" Button
> Click the "Run" option
> Type "cmd" to get into the command mode
> At the DOS prompt type in the following line (without the quotes...)
> "ipconfig /flushdns"

If the server you are connecting to on the other end has changed their file locations, or anything that affects domain name serving, you are probably still using the old address stored on your local computer. The flushdns command rids your local computer of dns information and forces it to go out and get the new, updated stuff!

This is what fixed my problem today! Wow! What a relief!

Problems with MySpace...

Get a free website, and upload your pictures to that, then link to them your profile. The reason you see red crosses is because MySpace is shit and is always getting hacked and DDoS'd. It probably loses your images, or if you link to Photobucket or ImageShack, they delete old photos to save bandwidth. Get a free website and host your own. I recommend www.phpnet.us

When I go to http://sc.lugdunum.net:9130/ (the ONLY site this ocurrs at), all images will load on the FIRST page load only. Click a link, and images come up broken. The site worked for earlier versions of IE, it works for Firefox.

If I delete temp files, the site is good for one more page load, then only broken images. What gives? Why does IE7 not like my favorite site like this?

O.K., as for eBay.com and Dell.com, the image links are all routed through connections to the same IP block. Blocking this range may also restrict many other web sites that route connections through these servers. The block is: 64.212.198.0 - 64.212.198.255. Allowing connections to these IPs cures the problem, but my systems have detected illicit connections utilizing IPs within this block. GOOD LUCK !

The problem appears to involve NORTON INTERNET SECURITY's "Personal FireWall". The same thing happened to me with eBay.com and Dell.com. Disabling Norton's firewall cures the problem, but presents questions, and, of course, you can not connect a Windows-based PC to the internet with hardware firewall, software firewall, and content inspection services.

Although I managed network security policies for a government network for 6 years, and an Internet provider for 12 years, I have not been able to resolve this broken image issue yet. It may be a new Windows viruses or malware. At first I thought is was because I have restricted thousands of IPs and IP blocks in my firewall and router (and even routers up stream) to help limit some small portion of the spyware and malewares embedded in Windows-based PCs and Windows applications, and the fact that some web applications pull content from source foreign to the root domain. But it's something else!

MicroSoft Windows has averaged over 1,400 new viruses and malwares per day over the last 6 years. Using a Windows-based PC has become virtually impossible, even for security experts supplied with millions of dollars of resources. Over 90% of your time on the system will be managing firewalls, making updates, and wasting entire days as I have with this issue. Thanks to MicroSoft, the Internet has become a kind of X@$&y*!

At last count, there were nearly 500,000 Windows-related viruses, spywares, and malware ... and those are only the “known” ones. If you own a Windows-based PC, you do not have a hardware firewall with both intrusion and containment capabilities, and most of your time is not spent managing security, your unit is most certainly infected to gills!

An example of MS stupidity and irresponsiblity was "Code Red" and "Code Blue". Sounds technical, but Code Red was a web virus that infected nearly 800,000 Windows IIS Web Servers in under a week, thanks to MicroSoft which put all the server administration in an open web directory by default. Just type in the domain/IP and path, and anyone on the Internet could have full and total control over the server. The number of open MicroSoft exploits has increased exponentially since about 8 years ago, and has not slowed down.

A BETTER SOLUTION IS TO BUY AN APPLE. To my knowledge, Macs have only suffered 1 harmless virus and 1 QuickTime issue (of course QuickTime, like Media Player, has always been spyware on Windows). You see, with Unix/Linux nothing can be installed without user intervention. That’s “real” security. Unix/Linux is opensource, Windows is a compiled “black box” ... D A R K !

I recently dusted off my 14 year old Mac IIci and showed by fellow IT staff, and they were astonished that such technology could have existed so many years before MS even had a GUI.

For around 12 months now i've had the problem on myspace with only red x's showing in place of pictures. At first it wasnt all pictures- some still worked, others didnt. These days none of the pictures work at all, i tried following these steps, installed the new IE7 and even downloaded firefox to see if it was any different on there- it wasnt. And yet on any other computer i access myspace on it works perfectly. Ive emailed myspace about it, but they just said it was a problem with my computer, nothing to do with them.

I tried everything. I even updated to Internal explorer 7 and still no luck.

I even try to comparing the settings on my work computer and my home computer and nothing. I emailed myspace twice, first time I got a response that they working on it and be patient, the second response was suggestions on how to download images, which isn't the problem. If any one can help yet me know

My pictures were just fine until I accidentally downloaded the FunWebProducts smileys. Now I get a mix of pictures and Red X placeholders. However, I discovered something tonight. If the picture is located on a url that has capital letters in it, it shows a red X. If a picture is all lower case, it shows up fine. Does this make sense? For instance, I see a red X for this picture at this url: http://nicolekidmanunited.com/NicoleKidmanTV/Channel10/Wedding/TheWeddingGuestsArriveCh10News21June2006a0001.jpg

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.

I started having this problem on msn messageboards this week right after I had to reinstall McAfee. Seems quite a few other posters on the board started having the same problem.

I had an online chat with a Mcafee technician and solved the problem. It is in the "privacy service program." When you are signed on as the Mcafee administrator, right click on the little Mcafee "M" icon on the bottom right of your screen, then go to "privacy service," then "options." Click on the "block ads" tab, then uncheck "block ads on this computer."

I did this and now can see the photos. Apparently the privacy service was reading some photos as being ads. Of course, if you start getting unwanted ads, you will have to enable the "block ads" function when you are not trying to view photos.

It sounds like what happens to me when I have mixed upper and lower case filenames, and am hosting on a Linux server. Under Windows, "PiCtUrE.jPg" is the same as "picture.jpg". Under Linux (and most other operating systems, for that matter) it is not.

So that would be one thing to look into.

The other is the use of "\" versus "/" as directory separators. http://site/dir/filename.jpg and http:\\site\dir\filename.jpg may, or may not work on different systems. The correct way is to use forward-slash "/" on the internet. Backslash "\" can sometimes work, and sometimes confuse, depending on the systems and browsers involved.

Good luck!

I have a problem with my images. I made a website and the images (banners/buttons) are not loading...I get the RED X. The thing is, my html code is correct, AND when I view the webpage on a mac computer the images loads fine (images and all), however when I view it on a PC, the images are red X's. I thought there was a problem with the folders, but I uploaded this other image (3 months ago) in that same folder and viewed it online (PC) and the image was fine. I'm confused...

Ok, heres what i did. Go on your system and find a file called HOST, windows/system32/drivers.etc. Open it using notpad, then do a search and find com.com and delete only ones that are com.com. Then do another search for the site that is not showing picturs. Delete that site, it may be in there a couple times. After that, save the file, close your IE explorer or firefox, then reopen and goto the site. Now the pictures should be there

Some pictures on my computer just don't show up... They come up with an icon that shows a red square, a blue circle, and a green triangle... Not the one shown in the article either.

Hey there.
I've got a weird problem with pictures on my IE and Firefox. There are a bunch of times when I go to a website, or in my mailbox (WebMail thru school) where I don't see any image where I would see one with another computer. I don't even see the red X or the other icon! I've got ZoneAlarm set up, and the Windows protector thingy is also up (though I'm not sure if that's a good idea!). Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks for any/all help!

If you Firefox doesn't display images, its probably because they are called from another location. Easy to fix, Tools > Options > Web Features...it will show two checkboxes, one for 'Load Images' and a sub checkbox 'for originating website only'. Make sure the 'for originating website only' is UNCHECKED and the 'Load Images' is checked. That fixed my display problems with PayPal and viewing images from all websites. >>> Jerry Decker - http://www.keelynet.com

Found your site on a google search - very useful, thanks! If you're suing the Firefox browser, you need to go to tools, options, web features - and allow "load images". a lot of sites, especially blogs, now have their images stored remotely at Flickr, so you also need to uncheck "for the originating web site only".

Best!

I do not see my problem addressed here. A couple of days ago all of the pics I posted from albums stored in MSN Groups either post as RED X or quickly turn RED X on my main PC. They still show correctly on my laptop and others in my group tell me they can still see them, so I know they are posting. Any idea why I cannot see them on my main PC? I would greatly appriciate any help. My sincere thanks.

If you have firewall software it is probably blocking the pics. Just allow web bugs for ebay.

Well, it's basically the same story as for IE users. You say this is your site? Can others see it ok? Especially if not, my guess is that the links to the images are incorrect as outlined in the article.

had the same thing on a site ( http://127.0.0.1:1072/bug.cgi )....but also had a piece of javascript added to the bottom...

postamble();

Looked as though it was only on the homepage and it was continually trying to refresh.

I got the guy to check the site and it looks as though someone has gained access somehow and has changed the homepage (last updated this wednesday and the guy has been nowhere near it).

Hope it's not a php exploit with the forum and someone now has root access to do as they please....but from the sounds of things it's not malitious, or is it? :-S

hi I have a myspace and one of my pictures doesn't show up it just has a red x, but with my other pictures they do show up. I found that when I am logged on the picture shows up but if I am logged out the picture doesn't show up. I have found that there is a problem with the url. How can I change it?

I have broadband ADSL and can always download all the images on a certain site perfectly OK. But my friend has 56Kb modem access and can always only download about half of them, the last half always coming up as red crosses. What can be the reason for this?

Just because it says http://127.0.0.1:1026/bug.cgi doesn't necessarily mean there's a virus/spyware on your comp. I was getting this for some of the sites and it turns out it's because ZoneAlarm was set to disable web bugs under Cookie Control. So if you have ZoneAlarm or an ad/cookie blocker, see if there's an option disabling web bugs.

I am curious as to why eBay has so many of these web bugs. These web bugs are suppose to be like cookies. And when I disable them the site looks all jumbled.

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.

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

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

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.

Whenever I try to make my website have pictures on Internet Explorer the pictures come up and I can see them - great! But others can't.

So I try making it on AOL and all the people on AOL can see the pictures but those people on Internet Explorer can't.

Ive tried everything you have said and nothing works.

Any ideas on how to let everyone see the pictures?
Thanks.

I too am having problems with the red "X". I've gone down the entire list of settings suggested on the MS Support page and everything is set correctly. I've also disabled my Norton internet security, anti-virus, firewall and Spybot. Nothing has helped.

The other notable is that when I right-click on the red "X" to examine the type or format, I don't even get a properties option. All I get is the small window with unselectable options to "COPY", SAVE PICTURE AS ...". SAVE BACKGROUND AS ..." and the last option IS selectable which is "SELECT ALL".

I recently did a system restore and cleaned house. Before I did that I had no problem viewing just about ANY image with the exact same protection software. After the restore I added two elements that were not there previous. (A) I updraded to IE6-SP1 and (B) I added "SPYBOT".

Does any of this help point to a better possible solution?

It depends on how you're creating your HTML. Make sure your pictures are placed on a web server somewhere, and then make sure that, as the article instructs, the pictures are referenced with an "http://..." type of reference rather than a "C:\...". The later is your local hard drive, and no one but you can see that.

I am having the exact problem you described above. I have items listed on ebay and the pictures appear to me but not to others.

I did a test by moving my stored photos to a removable disc and the auction pictures disappeared.

How can I alter the path of these pictures so they will show up? I have hundreds of auctions! I am desperate and will appreciate any help!

Thank you!

Not sure where you got that, but there's nothing at that link. The red x is legitimate - it means there's nothing to get.

One thing to try is to right-click on one of the red-x's select properties, and see the URL for the picture. Copy/paste that URL (it is selectable) into the address bar and see if it works that way.

I am having exactly the problem you described with red x's, and I have already taken a look at "Show Pictures" and Auto-Resize.

I am connecting this laptop to the Net via a ComSocks "proxy server/gateway" set up on my main system, where the modem resides. Slick stuff, really.

Is there any chance that's part of the problem? It's a quick hookup all things considered though a dialup, but I just can't see what's up with this red x biz.

Please help, and thanks much. :=)
