Red X appears instead of image? - Comments Page 3

I sent Bob and Kim Kommando an email about my Red X's. I've checked the sites and no answer to my problem is there.
I use Windows Vista Home Premium. When I pull down the help menu, and I desparately need it with this program, all graphics are red x'ed. I do not know how to get into the firewall or windows Defender to check options there. I did check my anti virus and spyware programs and they're not the problem as far as I know.

Im using vista home premium and i also am having problems viewing images , all im getting instead is that darn red 'x' , any solutions would be gratefully acknowledged, tried adjusting things like norton etc and cookies but to no avail

Me too, trouble with Vista and having red boxes instead of images. I've tried all the suggestions. Nothing works so far....grrrrr...

i have internet explorer 5.5, i have windows 95,i have tried everything anyone has suggested, worldstart doesn't have the answer, i guess bob doesn't either.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yikes, a computer online with Windows 95 and IE5.5 these days is like driving a 1972 Ford Pinto. (See http://www.stayfreemagazine.org/images/23/pinto.jpg) I'm surprised ANYTHING works. Please understand, this is not mockery, it's a safety issue.

I'm getting red "x"s only on Amazon's website. Every other website I visit is fine. Also, the ads show up on Amazon but not their buttons. Thanks for any advice.

EDITOR'S NOTE: It's odd for it to affect only one site. Can you right-click on the X and select "View Image"?

An update to my previous post, here is the message I receive: Firefox can't find the server at g-ecx.images-amazon.com.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Was it a temporary problem? This URL works for me: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/318Z30NYQ9L._AA280_.jpg

The problem was definately not temporary and still exists today.

Scot, I was also receiving the Amazon red-x issue. What I found was that it appears Amazon changed the site hosting their images or their CNAME. I was able to fix this (temporary fix) by editing my hosts file adding the following two lines:
209.8.115.118 ecx.images-amazon.com
209.8.115.111 g-ecx.images-amazon.com

The permanent fix is to contact your DNS Admin and have them update this information by performing the following:

I have Mozilla Firefox and I can't forward pictures in my email--any suggestions?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Firefox is a web browser, and has nothing to do with your email program. What email client do you use?

Hi All,

I just Want to thank all of you, especially the author of this post "The "Show Pictures" setting has been turned off in Internet Explorer.
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."

Big Thanks again to the Gentelman who posted this massege, it has resolved my problem.

God Bless
