Hi all.
I know this is a really dumb question, but its driving me nuts. On a lot of web pages I open. pictures do not display, and all I see is a big red box! I've been to Internet options and checked that 'show pictures' is ticked in the advanced box. It is. Am I missing something so obvious? HELP

The dumb question is the one not asked.

Hi, GG9

Typically, the complaint is a Red X, and not a "big" red box. Is that what you have? If so, there are many possible causes for the image not being loaded - as indicated by the browser tossing up the Red X in the images place.

See Pictures are not displayed on Web sites in Internet Explorer

If still having problems after that, let us know, and tell us about your computer, the OS and browser you use. And a brief history of the problem - when did it start? Did it ever work right?

Have you scanned for malware, just to be sure?
