Re: RED X's everywhere!

Hi swimmer :-)'

Try the following and see if it helps:

First - Do you have an accelerator supplied by your ISP? If so, try turning it off.
It works by reducing image size (and therefor quality) for downloads.

If you have Zone Alarm, Uncheck Remove private headers" for all
sites.

Try clearing the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and
delete offline content.)

If still no  joy, try the following:

Red X Instead of Images –
Can not see or save Images/Pictures
Fuzzy Text and fuzzy web graphics
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers.htm#jpg_gif

and……

Try changing the DPI setting from Large to Normal and see if that helps.

I can't see JPG's or GIFS any more - red x - images missing - fuzzy
images/distorted images

Can't View Some Graphics on IE/AOL

If you have Norton Personal Firewall or some other ad-blocking software or
popup stoppers installed, try disabling this type of software temporarily to
see whether this could be the problem.  Many of these programs block
Javascript, which is often used to pop up login windows and create rollover
graphics.  Norton Security, for example, is known to block any image that
originates from another server (advertisement images usually do), and I'm
guessing it also blocks at least some Javascript.

Set the following -

Under Security
Java Medium
Display mixed content-prompt is checked

Under Scripting
Scripting of Java applets
Is set to Enable

Privacy settings are medium

Check if your encoding setting in IE. To do this, click on View / Encoding,
and make sure Western European is selected.

For AOL problems:

1) AOL --> Settings --> Preferences --> Internet Properties (WWW)
2) AOL Users with different versions:
* AOL 5.0 and below:
AOL Internet Properties --> Web Graphics --> Used Compressed Graphics
Be sure to Uncheck (which means NO check/mark).
* AOL 6.0:
AOL Internet Properties --> Web Graphics
Be sure to choose never compress graphics.
3) Click General tab (at top left-side corner of AOL Internet Properties).
4) Click Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files and then press OK
button to delete all items in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
5) Click Clear History under History and then press OK/Yes button to delete
all items in your History folder.
6) Press OK button (at the bottom) to save changes and close your AOL
browser.
7) Restart your computer and then get back to AOL.

More info about the problem can be obtained at
http://esteepinky.cjb.net/aol/aolnote.htm

If all the above fails, Repair your IE, SHUT DOWN your machine, don't just
restart,  then restart your machine.

Are there any solutions to the IE6 missing GIF problem?
