I'm seriously going to throw my computer through a window. My husband told
me last night that a couple of weeks ago he started noticing these "red X's"
in the place of certain photos or video images, but only here and there.
Now he's seeing them all over the place. I use my laptop instead of the
family desktop so I've never noticed. Turns out we can't view videos or
see certain images. They're marked only by the red X's. He also said that
he first noticed it by not being able to see videos on You Tube, but he was
able to get around that and see them through Google. But now he can't do
that either. I've tried lowering our security settings, I've tried all but
uninstalling and deleting Norton, and I've tried to open a photo or video
saved on the computer, right-clicked, and set that file type to always open
with either Windows Media Player or Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I have
checked the Microsoft site and our computer has every update (except for IE
7, which I can't do because I can't use Office WebMail for work if I do).
To top it all off now You Tube is telling me that either Javascripts is
turned off or our Macromedia Flash Player is outdated. Well, I don't know
how to turn Javascripts on and I must have "downloaded" the Flash Player
(version 9) about a hundred times before I searched the computer only to
find that it was already installed (it seemed each time it was not
completing the install even though I've tried restarting as many times when
it appeared to be completed - but I've never once received a "download
complete box" or anything). Someone out there PLEASE HELP ME! I'm using
XP, and I believe we have Service Pack 2.
