Hi Guys please to help a poor wee newbee!! relatively new to
the world of computing, so i am paranoid about the security
of my pc ,like most people i,m sure!! prob, is that i was
directed to a site explaining how to tighten up my IE6
settings, however after a few tweaks i now find that when i
go on a site that has pictures or images i find i have an
empty box ,no pictures or images and a little red x,and when
i click on this nothing happens! obviously i have been a
little over zealous in my fine tuning , could any kindred
soul out there tell me how i can put this to rights without
compromising my security on IE6. Your help would be welcomed
with great happiness and joy

so long it,s been good to know ya!

First off, if you haven't done so already, you might want to
post your question to the Internet Explorer newsgroup.

Discussions in Internet Explorer 6 General
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?lang=en&cr=US&dg=microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser&sloc=en-us

Next, it would have been helpful if you had included a link to
the web site whose directions you followed when you changed
your IE settings.

Now for your problem:
Open Internet Explorer.
On the toolbar at the top of the window, click on Tools.
From the menu that drops down, click on Internet Options.
In Internet Options, click on the Advanced page.
Make sure there's a check mark in the box next to "Show
pictures" in the Multimedia section.
Click OK.

If you want to start over again adjusting your IE settings, do
the following:
In Internet Options, on the Advance page hit the "Restore
Defaults" button.
On the Security page, hit the "Default Level" button for the
Internet Zone.

Finally, if you plan on using these newsgroups on a regular
basis, you might want to access them with a real newsreader. A
real newsreader would be a program such as Outlook Express or
Mozilla Thunderbird. Here are some sites which show you how to
set up Outlook Express to access the Microsoft newsgroups:
