Red x in boxes for PRINT PREVIEW AND web pages. Tried alot of thin

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to fix a problem with Red X's in boxes instead of text or
pictures. This happens for each box in Print preview, as well as some
websites, including Microsoft.com/windows/IE/community. I have tried several
suggestions such as:
Empty the cache
Reduce the size of my cache
Make sure Show Pictures is checked in Advanced tab of Internet Options
Reset Internet Options to default levels
Make sure encoding is set for Western European (windows) and Auto Select
Check the Host File
Run winsockxpfix

This has been happening for quite awhile. I cannot tie it to any specific
event.

I ran all my anti spyware programs, checked my firewall (free Zone alarm)
Ran chdsk and defrag

Does anyone have any more ideas on what I can try?

Should I reset IE7 settings on the advance tab?

Should I uninstall IE7 and reinstall? Or change my browser to something else?

Should I perform a repair installation of Windows XP?

Doing a System Restore wouldn't work since I can't go back far enough before
this problem started.

I have Windows XP, SP2 with IE7.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks,

Gail

I would try the fix for red x's that show in user accounts. It might be the
same thing.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried it, but it didn't work. Thanks for
trying.

In Outlook Express click tools --options---security tab and check those
settings. Remove X and try. Try lowering security setting in I.E. also.

Problem Solved! After trying so many things, I finally uninstalled IE7 which
took me back to IE6. No more red x's.

Problem Solved. I finally uninstalled IE7 which then reverted back to IE6.
No more Red X's and print preview works fine. I actually like IE6 better!
Thanks.
