If you try to run, I've got six little friends and they can all run faster than you can.   Registered Member #1170 Joined: Wed Mar 22 2006Location: Lancashire, England Posts: 622 | I log on the internet using AOL and all is fine but when i open a new session up using IE and get a website up on there, where there should be pics (like on the hardmaps first page with the intro etc) instead of a pic i just get a box with a red x at the top left corner!?!?!? its the same when i log into hardmaps its the same with the jo stats etc on the right. It seems to do it on most sites not just one or two. Help please if anyone can. Thanks all and a happy new year. | ||

All i can think is it is something that maybe needs ticking in the internet options but i dont wanna mess around in there too much as most of it is jargon to me. | ||

Its just when i select the IE from the desktop, coz i can surf with aol or just use IE, the only reason i have to use aol is to actually sign on to the internet. After that i can just minimize aol and use the normal IE form my desktop and thats the one the problem is with. | ||

You MIGHT also be able to right-click one of the RED X's where the pics are supposed to be and there might be an option to make sure you can view them. Occasionally everyone gets a RED X, its usually bc the website doesnt send the picture through fast enough and the browser just skips it. | ||

Registered Member #1170 Joined: Wed Mar 22 2006Location: Lancashire, England Posts: 622 | Well the only thing i have done is just updated to IE 7 but apart from that i use AVG and it just updates itself every morning at about 3 o clock. It has been like this for a while and never really bothered to much but i thought i'd give it a shot and see if anyone knew of the same problem, i thought it may be some type of active x or java problem but i really dont know. :) | ||

DO NOT REMOVE IT | ||

Was talking to my web hosting company about IE once - they said the new IE has changed how some things get displayed - but the rest of the wolrd stayed using the stable proven source code. This causes some pages to not get displayed correctly with IE - leave it to Microsoft to mess with a good thing. "Do it OUR way or ELSE" | ||
