Hello,

Why do some of my emails in Outlook have just a little red x where a picture
or a link should be? How can I fix it so that does not happen?

Thanks.

Make sure that there is a check next to Show Pictures under Contol Panel - Internet Options - Advanced Tab.

If working before you may want to select Restore Defauls.

I really wish there is a solution to this annoying problem. Mine
started in Mid Dec and too late to do a system restore. I have trried
every possible setting to no avail. Any picture or link in an HTML
E-Mail that starts http//and then a www.link just results in a red X
with a "Click to follow Link" if you hover over it. Right clicking only
gives you the COPY option

do you have a firewall or antivirus or antispam scanning email? The firewall
could be blocking the url, or either of the others breaking it.

Well, I have all those prophylactics, but the AV is not scanning E-Mail.

I have turned them all off and still the red x's. Note if the Link is a
written word hyperlink not a icon/picture then everything works as normal.

I should have added, if I revert to Windows Mail, Live Mail or
Thunderbird, then all works as correct, it is just Outlook 2007 that is
broken. I have dabbled with Live Mail and have Thunderbird for News Groups.
