First: There may be incorrect link, so the person who made his/her website didn't write links correctly.

Second: If you using HOTMAIL it is not showing by default, so you need to change it in preferences-Always show the active X content.

Third: there should be a yellow stripe on the top of the brouser, so you need to point there and right click and choose- Show active X content.

The end: Should work, there is no other possibilities.

Most likely, that means there is something wrong with the image, and you're out of luck (something only the creater of the page can fix. They could have removed the image from, and didn't edit the web page... any number of reasons. OR, it could be that your system can't read whatever format the image is in (also something you can't do anything about).

It means that the image isn't there. IE, the webpage is linking to an image, which should appear on the page, but the source is missing. See the yahoo answer image at the top of the page? That's stored on a harddrive somewhere and its accessed every time this page loads. Should someone go in there and delete that image from that harddrive, all of us will be seeing the little x. Nothing you can do about it, means the image is gone :(

Pictures are not displayed on Web sites in Internet Explorer

SYMPTOMS

When you open a Web page, one or more pictures (graphics or images) may not be displayed. Instead, a red X, or a placeholder, may appear in place of the images.



RESOLUTION

To troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps. After each step, check to see if the issue is resolved. If the issue still occurs, continue troubleshooting with the next step:



1. Clear temporary Internet files. To clear temporary Internet files, follow these steps:

a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

b. On the General tab, click Delete Files under Temporary Internet files.

c. Select the Delete all offline content check box, and then click OK.

d. Click OK to close the Internet Options window.



2. Right-click the red X or placeholder for the image, and then click Properties. Verify that the image type is supported by Internet Explorer by examining the Type or Address (URL) values in the Properties dialog box. For example, a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file will list GIF Image for Type and the Address (URL) ends with .gif. Internet Explorer displays images with an .art, .wmf, .emf, .png, .mov, .xbm, .avi, .mpg, .gif, .jpg, .mpeg, and .bmp extensions.

3. Start Internet Explorer.

4. If you have the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory installed, click the Toggle Images.exe link on the Links toolbar to turn on images.



Note If the Links toolbar is not visible, right-click a blank area of the toolbar and verify that there is a check next to Links. If the Toggle Images.exe link is not visible on the Links toolbar, click the arrow with two angle brackets on the far right-side of the Links toolbar.

5. Verify that Show Pictures has not been turned off in Internet Explorer:

a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

b. Click the Advanced tab, and then verify that the Show Pictures check box is selected under Multimedia.

c. Click OK.



6. Make sure scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, and Java applets are enabled in Internet Explorer. To do so, follow these steps:

a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

b. Click the Security tab, and then click Default Level (if it is available) for the zone which contains the Web page (for example, Internet).

c. If you are using Internet Explorer 6, click the Privacy tab, and then click Default (if it is available).



7. If you are using a third-party Internet security, firewall, or cookie blocking program, contact the manufacturer of the program for information about how to enable scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, Java applets, advertisements, and HTTP referral information. For example, if you have Norton Internet Security (NIS) or Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) installed, see the following Symantec Corporation Web sites for additional information about the various settings in these products that might cause this behavior: • http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sunset-c2002kb.nsf/29dd58255a9a57a585256ee600556cc1/73af2219f66216e585256ede00518e72?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sunset-c2002kb.nsf/29dd58255a9a57a585256ee600556cc1/73af2219f66216e585256ede00518e72?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam)

• http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/429934053165308488256d8e0076af48/77ee338ff06cf3b5882568a1006a69a3?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/429934053165308488256d8e0076af48/77ee338ff06cf3b5882568a1006a69a3?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam)

If you access the Internet through a local area network (LAN), contact the administrator of your LAN to verify that scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, Java applets, advertisements, and HTTP referral information are not blocked by a firewall or other security features on the network.

8. Start Internet Explorer.

9. On the View menu, point to Encoding. If a check does not appear next to Auto-Select, click Auto-Select.

10. On the View menu, point to Encoding, and then click the appropriate language for the Web page that you are trying to view. For example, if the Web page is in English (United States), click Western European (ISO) or Western European (Windows). If the required language is not available on the View menu, follow these steps to add it:

a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

b. Click Languages, and then click Add.

c. Click the appropriate language, and then click OK.



11. If the problem is not resolved, a file or registry key required to display the Web page with the appropriate character set may be missing or damaged. To resolve this problem, restore Windows from a complete system backup or reinstall (or repair) Windows. If you are running Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition or Microsoft Windows XP, you may be able to resolve this issue without restoring or reinstalling Windows by using the System Restore utility to return your computer to a previous working state. For more information about how to use System Restore in Windows Millennium Edition, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

267951 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/267951/) Description of the System Restore utility in Windows Millennium Edition

For more information about how to use System Restore in Windows XP, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

306084 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084/) How to restore the operating system to a previous state in Windows XP

Note that in some cases you may also be able to resolve this problem by manually editing the registry. For example, if the28591 String value is missing from the following registry key, a Web page that is encoded for the Western European (ISO) code page might not display any images:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage

The value for this registry key should be set to the name of the appropriate code page file in your Windows\System or Windows\System32 folder. For the Western European (ISO) code page, this value should be either Cp_28591.nls (Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition) or C_28591.NLS (Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP).
