| | RED X in upper left hand corner of picture Yesterday I received an e-mail from the Windows Live Team titled "Hotmail brings you more then e-mail in September". There are numerous boxes shown, all with the Red X in the upper left hand corner of the picture. How can I get the pictures to show? Patrick ps: my browser is Firefox and my System is XP/Home SP3 |

| | Re: RED X in upper left hand corner of picture Pat, I just had an email with the same problem, a lot of boxes with red Xs. I was working offline when I clicked on the email. All of the pictures were links to pictures on the Web.

| | Re: RED X in upper left hand corner of picture Hi Ron: well I turned off my firewall (Comodo) and I am not working offline (always connected by Cable Broadband), and I'm sure the Microsoft website is available. Closed out my Live.mail.desktop application, restarted my desktop Live.mail.desktop application but still no luck. Except for the first red 'x' box, the hand symbol appears in the other red x boxes and If I click on the hand symbol it does open up a webpage in my browser. So, the mystery remains, also the other problem of not being able to post the screen shot of my e-mail on this usergroup!
