Problems with internet explorer and pictures no appearing?

Question

When I am using internet explorer some of the pictures dont apear any more (they apear as a white page with a small red x. This never used to happen and doesnt happen with all the pictures on the site. Do I need to change one of my settings?

Many thanks

Answer 1

1. Picture was removed
2. Picture didn't download

You don't need to change settings. Just click right mouse button at that slot with "red x" and select "show picture" (or something like that - I'm using non-English browser). If picture will not appear, it probably was removed, or you don't connected to Web:)

Answer 2

it usually happens when the internet connection is lost or not on. it also happens when the page's source server is not found. it happened to me a lot of times, but nothing to worry. if you save a web page which has pictures on it, the same red dots appear. these are the possible reasons i know, but you can seek a more professional advice from computer people.

Answer 3

Open Internet Explorer, select Tool -- Internet options --- Advanced, in that check mark all the boxes under Multimedia.
