Joe: Everything appears to be OK in the show image download department, as the box is clear of any check mark. I will now assume it is someone else's fault (I'm good at that) and live with it.

Icon on your desktop and then go to advanced and scroll down to multimedia and make sure there is not a checkmark in show image download placeholders, if there is remove it and that should solve the problem, Joseph Rydzy Ocassionally when I view a web page, or even more rare when I receive an email attachment, there is a red X inside a square where a picture should be. Anyone know why that is and how to correct it. Windows 98SE and MS Internet Explore and Outlook Express 6.0 Thanks, Jim "Hold No Punches.."
