Resolved Red X... No Pictures or Radio Buttons

Hello everyone, I am ever grateful for this outstanding forum and I hope we can resolve this looming issue:

Red X where a picture should be... right click~ show picture produces nothing.

I have reinstalled IE8, running XP SP3.

Internet Opts Advanced: have "show pictures" checked.
I have restored default settings on this tab as well.

I have updated Java ver. 7.5 and removed older versions with JavaRa.

I have reinstalled Flash Player ver. 11.

Banging my head on this, since crucial visual data is absent from web pages.

Thanks to all!

 

If you can post a screenshot showing the "Red X" as well as the URL to the webpage, it may prove useful in identifying the exact problem.

 

screenshot....

 

screenshot of BBS page... note the "tweet" button

 

Is that a webpage? If so, what's the URL (web address, http://www.........)?

 

thanks... I understand.. it is a secure Facebook page.. should I be insecure about posting that URL?

Is this still related to your trip to the Malware & Virus Forum 2 weeks ago and Broni cleaned your Comp? Neil.

 

no idea

 

was there before Broni still there after

 

I think there is a rootkit problem present again... I'm only surfing my biz site and FB...legit sites, running Avast, but keep getting infected.

Broni cleared up this machine, but I tried to run GMER last eve and got warnings about rootkit probs.. so any help in directing me from here would be greatly appreciated!

 

is this red x thing a symptom of a virus?

 

I just tried our Google Search and there were a number of Posts there regarding the dreaded RED X. Been looking further:https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNHQgXFdFGFLrC0CEAPEBKfTwjlb5A
This could be worth a read. Neil.

 

thank you Neil.

 

read the suggested thread... don't get this part at all...

I've found the problem with IE8 showing X's where some pictures were supposed to be and certain videos not playing.

Yesterday I found that on my wife's laptop, IE8 was working flawlessly. I knew then the problem had to be with "me" ...

I installed IE8 back over IE7 again, and the same red x's showed up and CNN video's not playing. THEN, I noticed up in the address bar, there it was ... an option showing itself quite clearly, asking me if I wanted to allow Adobe Reader to work on this site alone or all sites. Clicking that, and allowing Adobe to work on all sites fixed the problem.

I mean, I had uninstalled IE8, reinstalled it, took it off again and only yesterday did I see the problem RIGHT THERE BEFORE MY EYES!!!! Couldn't believe it, but anyway, problem is solved ... AND NOW YOU KNOW ... THE REST OF THE STORY!!!!

an option in the address bar throws me for some reason...
guess I will restore IE7 and call it a day..

 

Thanks to all who helped with this....I uninstalled IE8, now all is well with the world!
