Dear Wizard of 'OZ',
Was reading up on IZ and he was a great artist, singer, and musician. It's a shame that he couldn't control his weight, but thats not for me to be a judge of.
Have passed on this email to you hoping that you could give me some suggestions as why I don't get the pictures. Something wrong with my settings?
One friend said he had the same problems with what I was sending him. And think the rest of the folks are too polite to complain..
Signed,
Red X
Dear Red
There are a number of reasons why a red X may appear on your screen, and is not necessarily a problem with Outlook Express or Internet Explorer.
Here are a few possibilities:
The page or email you are viewing contains text (which is often cached or saved to your hard drive); however, the picture file(s) contained in the page is/are probably referenced via a web site (which requires an Internet connection). If you are offline, the red X will appear.
The page (or email) you are viewing contains a picture which is in fact hosted on a secondary web site, and that web site is offline. If picture cannot be referenced, the red X will appear.
There may be a temporary problem connecting to the web site which hosts the picture.
The web site hosting the picture file may have been blocked by your firewall, ad-blocking software, or Hosts file.
The reference to the picture is no longer valid, producing a red X, because the picture has been moved or deleted from the remote host (web site).
Your Internet Explorer security settings are not permitting you to access the web site which hosts the picture file. Try changing your settings to default (Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Default).
If on the other hand, you have problems sending pictures using Outlook Express (an entirely different problem, although related to the "red X"), please refer to this article.
Hope that helps!
Yrs,
The Wizard
