Hi folks, You know, every once in a while, we get new threads asking us for help about why the IE does not display images, and that in place of those images, they get red x in a white box. Today I was at Java website looking for something else. I accidentally came across what I believe may be the solution to the notorious IE red x syndrome. If this is true (as I believe it is), why hasn't Microsoft posted the info in their Knowledge base? Click me to read Red X image displayed where the applet should be, applets won't run, courtesy of Java website. i_XpUser

They have got this one though... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;283807 Purgamentum initium, exitus purgamentum

I have never had that red x error in a java applet problem. I will keep that website for future reference, thanks XpUser... Purgamentum initium, exitus purgamentum

I do get the Red X Error frequently. Also, I have no "Java Plug-In" icon in my Control Panel. tenacity, patience, and perseverance because…... I AM THE HUMAN

I looked in mine too, and I cannot find that "Java Plug-In" neither.... Where is it hiding?

Depends which version of xp you have. Earlier versions,known as 'Gold' have java integrated(SP1). Later versions do not(SP1a). To check........

Thanks indigian; I've got the Microsoft Java installed here. I don't get those red "x's", so I guess I'm all set here. Have a great evening, all..... ~Tommyo
