as of late, i have now seen a few red 'x's on my pages..... not all pages show this 'x'. i'd like to know how i got it and how do i get rid of it. i have done a google search and found a few guides and such, but none of the actions have resolved my issue. i am using IE6 with SP2, but never had this problem until about a month ago. it does not really bother me that much, but does get annoying seeing it the majority of the time. i am also using NIS and Firewall, along with spysweeper 4.0 and whatever other security items packed with SP2. i checked my registry and a few things were changed, so i set them to defaults (by the google search) but nothing changes. i also did a system restore to an earlier date, fixed it temporarily, but has returned........... any clues????
the red x's are from sites that are hosting peoples' sigs that might be off line for various reasons. don't worry about it.
well, its not just a random experience, its everyday.....and on a few usual sites, for example, yahoo's home page and a few others. works fine on my other pc and work pc. i am searching my registry to see if there are errors, ran registry mechanic and found over 300 + errors. in microsoft's site, it says that my firewall or possibly anti virus may be the problem, i am reading up on it. but thanks for the input.
LOL jim, my wife was looking over my shoulder as i was reading this thread and she thought that was the CUTEST thing ever~ hehe, she loves cats and with the kittie taking down the "Red X", she was like, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. hehe. my wife thanks you for puttin a smile on her face~
i did a search on these... firefox, mozilla, opera and a few others. do i have to wipe out IE completelty, or just d/l it?
Just download firefox and only use IE if you absolutely have to, like say, with microsoft related sites and such. And try looking around the forum, i bet the guys here also know the little trick to make firefox read 100x faster
gear79,just d/l it,I have mozilla and firefox along with I.E. all 3 I use from time to time. There are firefox tweaks available,you can type in by hand, or you could just use firetune. http://www.totalidea.com/frameset-products.htm To the rest,im glad you liked my little x. I know it has nothing to do with the problem,but it seemed like the appropriate place to use it.LOL
Here are some tips for Firefox, actually quite handy if you want to take advantage of its lesser-known features: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/184257 Here's to speed up Firefox page loading: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/177587
@ JD.... yup, the .gif was a nice touch..... thanks for the input. i will try it when i get home from work. and i still say that kinza's .gifs look like they are doing the hokey pokey !!! ;-)
ok, update........ i have d/l firefox, up and running, i like it so far, BUT......... even in firefox, i see blocked out images. i have attempted to configure settings and proxies, and i seem to be getting nowhere. i just hate not being able to see whole pages at times. i went thru the tweaks and tips, java'a FAQ page, nothing.........i even did a system restore to an earlier date, it tells me i cant go back that far. (i am trying a 'known good' date). i d/l registry mechanic too, but since its a trial version, it does not tell me much.... any ideas?
