The reason behing the red x's are because you have to clear your temporary internet files on your computer. To do so go into the internet settings in IE and click DELETE TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES... after doing so the websites that you visit will no longer have the red x's .... If they still show up this is because of a problem with the web pages HTML coding. Red x's indicate that the file that the images for that site has been moved. If there are no images for the page o link to then the images cannot show therefore the comuter has to show something so it shows you a red x. Also another thing that my be happening is that you have your content set to block these sorts of picures... if you set your computer to block xxx pictures for example then if you went to a xxx site then all the pictures wouldnt show. they would appear as red x's or as gray squares..... need more info?

I have this problem, also. It doesn't happen all of the time, though. It's very sporadic. And Sometimes, when it does happen, I can right click on the x and it will ask if I want to display them, but that doesn't work all the time either. a couple of times I was able to view the pictures, but when I'd e-mail them, the pics wouldn't show.

Do you think we have to live with being computer illiterate? lol

The big red X is because your system has not got the right image reading software installed / the IE is Internet Explorer that is a web browser (you have options on what you use) if you do not have IE and a program requests it then how do you log on to the internet ?? . search for web browsers and IE will be there as it is from the windows group of programs download it and install
