I have occasional trouble viewing any and all icons and
pictures on anywebsite. The icons and pictures appear as
red boxes with a red x in them. If you know what this is
or what I could check, PLEASE email me. Thank you so
much! Rod P.s. Due to spam tools, I added the
words "removethis" in my email. Please remove that part.
Thanks

It sounds as though you haven't got the latest Visual
Basic runtime files.

========================================
First, make sure if the "Show Pictures" option is turned
on in Advanced tab
of Internet Options.
If it is already on, refer this MSKB article:

Pictures Are Not Displayed on Web Sites in Internet
Explorer

This problem is also seen in computers where Norton
Internet Security
Ad-blocks is turned on.

have discovered that if I...
- Turn auto-select off
- refresh the page
- Turn auot-select back on
The page automatically refresehes and the pictures are
showing. However, if I refresh the page again or link to
another page, the problem comes back and I have to re-do
the fix procedure.

In IE 6 go to view then encoding & select western
european
(windows) you'll be able to view web sites normally, I
haven't figured how to make this a default setting in IE6
if you figure it out send me a message otherwise you'll
have to set the view type manually each time you launch
IE6.
-----------------------------------
To change the file format and extension, such as a bmp to
a
jpg, open the file with the appropriate program and use
the
"save as" command and the drop-down menu to change the
file
type. This works to change photos or documents such as
WORD
to a WordPerfect format or an Excel spreadsheet to a
different program type, or a universal format.
