Occasionally I cannot open photo's/cartoons that arrive in my emails (AOL). They are not necessarily attachments, but more along the lines of "imbedded, part of" for the lack of a better more knowlegeable word. All the wording is plainly readable but the photo etc. is a square empty box with a smaller box with a red "X" in the upper left hand corner. Would someone please advise what utility/adjustment is necessary to view this material? I've tried right clicking on the box to check properties in hopes to see what extension but that also does not work. Thanks

It's called the undefeatable IE/E-mail Red-X Syndrome - Google for it. i_XpUser

I took your suggestion and tried several of the remedies, however, same problem.

What kind of e-mail program are you using? If it is aim go to http://help.aol.com/aimhelp/support... Then click on e-mail and there is your support. *salute*

AOL, thanks for the reply.
