    Red X in Box Instead of Pictures


    When my sister forwards me e-mails with pictures that she has received from her daughter, instead of the pictures I get a small Red X in a box. Yet anytime my sister sends me emails with pictures directly, the pictures appear just fine.

    Clicking (left or right) on the Red X yields nothing

    My sister and I both use WLM with Win7.

    I would like to see the forwarded pictures, so any help/advice would be appreciated.

    Sometimes, a bar (yellow I think) will come down at the very top of the message asking you if you want to display the pictures.

    Fixes:

    There are two ways that you can get that picture to get displayed:
    a). You can right click on the same box that displays red x and click on Show picture.
    b). Or you can also click on ""Show Content" near the subjest of the e-mail. (what I suggested)

    4. You can also also check if the "Show pictures" and "play animation in webpage" is check marked in the following location: Internet Explorer>>Tools>>Internet Properties>>Advanced>>Multimedia.

    PF, thanks for the quick response; however
    - there is no bar at the top of the message
    - when I right-click on the box with red x, there is no menu with "Show picture"
    - I don't see any "Show Content" near the subject of the email
    - "Show pictures" and "play animation..." are checked

    Any other recommendations? Thanks.........

    Are you using the program or the website to access your email?

    I'm also having this problem in Windows Live, only with emails from M$. They tend to send email with all pictures linking to things, and every one of them is replaced by a RED "x". NOBODY else's is affected, so everything is set correctly. They just can't seem to make a damm product that works, even with their own stuff.
