Re: Still getting red x's

EUREKA!!!!! I just love this NG.

Thanks to Rob^_^ and Robert Aldwinckle for their help, but it was PA Bear
that led me down the primrose path--er, correct path.

Although Rob did mention my firewall, it was PA that gave me the website
that pointed to the exact spot I needed to go. It seems that while
tinkering with my firewall, I set it to "block private headers." Normally I
annotate changes like this, but this one got past me. In any event, I
unclicked this setting and voila-the red x's had disappeared.


Thanks guys,
Dan

Until recently, I would only get the occasional red x. But in the last

or so I have been getting a lot of them! This occurs on sites where I
previously had no problems. When I check the properties, they are
primarily
.gif images with an occasional .cgi image.

After doing a Google search on "Red X's," I found two common fixes. One
is
to go to the Tools>Options>Advanced>Multi-media settings and check "show
pictures." Mine was not checked, so I checked it. It didn't help.
BTW,
I
was not getting red x's with it unchecked.

Second fix, go into the registry and change (If I get correctly)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, check the .gif and .jpg settings and make sure they
are
set to "images/.gif(or .jpeg). They were correctly set.

Thanks,
Dan Hacker
