Hi Dave71 ,
Your problem is actually not caused by your computer. Your sender has an incorrect setting in the email client – probably Outlook Express.
This bad setting causes Outlook Express to include a link to the picture rather then sending the picture itself. This works when the picture is on a web site.
When you send the email back the sender can see the picture fine because the link is on his computer.
To fix this you will have to get the sender to change a setting in OE. To do this –
1. Launch Outlook Express
2. From the tools menu select Options
3. Click the tab labeled Send
4. Click the upper of two buttons labeled HTML Settings
5. Put a check in the box labeled Send Pictures With Messages
6. Click O.K. and O.K. again
Now you will get pictures instead of Red X’s and the person sending you email will thank you because they have been sending red X’s to everyone on their mail list.
I have pblm creating mail & inserting a pic from My Pictures. It arrives at the destn w/o the pic showing, just an attachment.
But – selectin “Forward” on that email at the receiving end the msg shows up with pics and all complete. Any suggestions.
I tried the above advice & my set up was exactly that way. ??????
It may be the site is broken, not your computer. If the picture is not there or the link is wrong your browser will show the “x”. Is there a way you can visit the site with another computer to see if the problem is on their end or on yours?
Yea but it does this every where….like on the upper right corner advertisement..and my computer doesnt show any tabs on every websites
I see X with box around it
what do i do ti fix it
I am having this problem with alot of web pages, even on face book, I am getting the little box with the red x in it. How do I fix this problem??
Thanks
