Hi. I'm running windows XP Pro. At times I get emails (OE) that should have pictures but instead there is a little square with a red cross in the top left corner and no pic. I can't fathom how to get the pic to show.
Can anyone help please. Many thanks.

open outlook express then go

Tools >> options >> Security and check to see if block images is checked

Thanks brain_damage. Did that but couldn't find Box "block images" or anything similar. Where to now? Ralph

here's a pic see if the box is ticked

Hi. Mines got everything except "download images" box could it be that there is a more up to date OE ?

I'm using OE 6, have you got admin rights?

is it all pictures?

Mine's OE6 also; don't know about admin rights--should have-it's my PC.
99% of emails with pics are ok; it's just the odd one that I get that has the little red cross and there's no indication of what the format might be. Regards Ralph

there's this from Microsoft.

TThanks, will try that. Let you know later. Thanks Ralph

Thanks brain_damage: Sorry to be so long in coming back. Had a few days away.
Read all the info on that site and it would appear that I would be better off not receiving these sort of emails. So will not worry about it any longer. They are few and far between so can't be missing much.
Many many thanks for all your help. Best regards, Ralph.
