why do I sometimes only get a box w/ a x in the corner instead of the picture?

I suspect you are missing the "helper file / program" for this file type.  If the operating system (Microsoft XP) does not have the program to view the file, an X is displayed.   Try right clicking on the picture and selecting SAVE AS to see the file name.  Look at the extension, then search yahoo with this extension to download the viewer.\n-KOZ\nGilbert, Arizona\nhttp://wwww.affirmtech.net\nAffirmative Computer Services - Phoenix Computer Repair + USA phone support -- Quality American Support -- "Taking back American Computer Repair & Support from inferior Foreign Country Support"

Try going to the Tools menu and choosing Options.  Under the View tab, in the Formatting Marks section, make sure that there are no boxes checked and click OK.

I have no idea what you're asking. The red X on photos on a web page means the photo isn't available. Clicking it will do nothing.\n\nThe other question seems to have something to do with setting up a Microsoft Word document. Is that what you're trying to do. If so, I suggest you insert a table, rather than trying to set tabs.

that's because your computer is not ''java scripted''. ull have to download the software... to see those images.

Either a font problem. This can be sorted out by changing the font to Times New Roman or Arial or something standard. \nIf the output happens on a prinetr and you see boxes on the page, its a printer driver problem. Try reinstalling the printer driver with the correct driver. Sometimes, if a generic text Printer is installed and you print a page with different fonts, this problem can happen.

Sounds to me like it is actually an active desktop item. Left click on it and a border may appear. Then x it

Try right-clicking on it in various places and see if a frame with a little "x" in the corner pops up.  If it does, left click on the x and the Yahoo should go away.

The box with a red cross u are mentioning means the file is not found .. it may also occur when the file targeted is not in correct format needed by the PDf reader .. \n\nwhy dont you stop using Adobe Acrobat reader , u can use Foxit Reader - get it here http://www.download.com/Foxit-PDF-Reader/3000-2079_4-10365812.html\n\nthis is new generation gr8 PDF reader .. you can use it instead of Adobe's ..

Another case of software saving us from ourselves... There are a bunch of reasons why you might see the dreaded "Red X" instead of an image while viewing a web page with Internet Explorer or an email with Outlook.\n\nHere are some possible reasons why the Red X may appear, and suggested fixes for each.\n\n1. Problem: The "Show Pictures" setting has been turned off in Internet Explorer.\n   Solution: In Internet Explorer's Tools menu, click Internet Options, then click the Advanced tab. Make sure the Show Pictures check box is selected under Multimedia, and click OK\n\n2.  Problem: Your anti-virus or firewall is a little too uppity. Check to see if your anti-virus or firewall software has a privacy setting to "disable web bugs".\n    Solution: Uncheck or turn it off.\n3.  Problem: Your Internet Explorer security settings are set too high, preventing you from accessing the web site which hosts the image.\n    Solution: Reset to the default security settings. In Internet Explorer, click on Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Default Level.\n4. Problem: You've installed the Windows XP/SP2 updates and you're being bitten by the "Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail" security option. This is automatically turned ON in Outlook Express after you install Windows XP/SP2.\n   Solution: Click on Tools -> Options -> Security. Then UNCHECK the "Block images and other external content" check box, and click OK\n5.  Problem: You are the SENDER and others are complaining that they can't see images in emails you sent,\n    Solution: In Outlook Express, Click Tools -> Options -> Send. Under Mail Sending Format, select HTML, then press the HTML Settings button. Make sure the "Send pictures with messages" box is checked.\n6.  Problem: The image is hosted on a website that's busy, temporarily offline or defunct. Or the image file on the website might have been renamed or deleted.\n    Solution: Try again later or ask the sender to send it as an attachment instead of an inline image.\n7.  Problem: The image is hosted on a website, and you're not online.\n     Solution: Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.

Perhaps they were not correctly attached when sent....OR  you need to right click on them and save to your desktop.  Finally, its possible that they are of a format of picture that you don't have a viewer for.  It never hurts to get another viewer.  Good luck!

it could be that you're mail program is set to block HTML Graphics (ie Pictures) for security purposes. there should be a link to show the images. if not check your security settings.

You can try to right-click on the x and there should be an option to "reload image" or something similar.  If that doesn't work, then it's a problem with the web page's server, and there's nothing you can do.  Hope that helps!

It does not necessarily mean it is a attachment. \n\nThere could be a couple of reasons\n\n1. You may have a security block on any graphics- I get the same thing because I use Incredimail so it will block the graphics unless I select to see them first.\n\n\n2. The picture that someone is trying to send to you may have a link to it and the server is unable to locate the pic.\n\nThat is what the red X means

I hope I'm wrong, But if the bars that you are talking about are on both sides, that means that the circutry that explands the horizontal are defective... if it is a desktop, try a different monitor, probably you'll find out that the problem goes away, which only means that is time for an upgrade... if it is on a laptop... is even worse... you'd have to find someone to repair it... but like I said, hopefully I'm wrong...
