TSGL: Outlook Express

[Don Searles]

Len,
 

There are a number of reasons why a red X may appear on your screen, and is not necessarily a problem with Outlook Express or Internet Explorer.

Here are a few possibilities:
  
   The page or email you are viewing contains text (which is often cached or   saved to your hard drive); however, the picture file(s) contained in the page   is/are probably referenced via a web site (which requires an Internet   connection). If you are offline, the red X will appear.
    
   The page (or email) you are viewing contains a picture which is in fact   hosted on a secondary web site, and that web site is offline. If picture   cannot be referenced, the red X will appear.
    
   There may be a temporary problem connecting to the web site which hosts   the picture.
    
   The web site hosting the picture file may have been blocked by your   firewall, ad-blocking software, or Hosts file.
    
   The reference to the picture is no longer valid, producing a red X,   because the picture has been moved or deleted from the remote host (web   site).
    
   Your Internet Explorer security settings are not permitting you to access   the web site which hosts the picture file. Try changing your settings to   default (Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Default).
