Over 90 percent of the photos posted in this forum have a red x on my computer. What do I need to do to fix the problem?

Hmmm.... it could be could be a DNS problem. Try accessing several sites that you haven't visted recently. See if you're having a problem connecting to those sites. If you're having a problem connecting to those sites, try rebooting your computer. Also, if you're connecting through a router, reboot the router too. If that doesn't solve it, contact your ISP.

...could also be a security/pop blocker setting in your browser or if on dial-up a really slow download speed...checking those things have helped others...

Madjack:

You were right on. I turned down the security setting one notch and can now see all photos.

Thanks.

You're right. It reset itself. We're back in business for the time being. This thread has all the ups and downs of a soap opera. Stay tuned. . . .

The same thing happens to me until I log in. Then, all the red "x"s disappear and I can see the photos. George.
