I use windows xp and OE. I get red x's everywhere where in reality should be a graphical image.

What needs to be changed or checked?

This can occur if the value of the registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif\Content_Type and/or
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg\Content_Type

are set incorrectly. Quit IE, run regedit and find the 1st key.
Double-click Content Type value in right pane and type "image/gif"
without quotes in Value Data box. Do the same (only "image/jpg") for
the other key.

Please be careful in the registry.
