Red X in outlook instead of pictures

murphsj · 01-23-2007

Ever since I install Ie 7 when I receive and email with a picture embedded in it i just get a box with a red x. if it's attached i can open it. I cannot figure out how to make it so the pics show up. If I uninstall Ie7 I can see the pics.

Can you help??? thanks

I think you will find the answer here Images are blocked when you open an e-mail message in Outlook Express on a Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer

thanks for any suggestions

Duz it look like this attached picture? If you look in the picture at the top it has this part where it says click here to download pictures. Or there is a setting you can change below
How to turn off the "Don’t download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail" option

loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation');You can turn off the Don’t download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail option. When you turn off this option, no content from the Internet in HTML e-mail messages is blocked. When this option is off, the download behavior of Outlook 2003 is like the inline content download behavior of earlier versions of Microsoft Outlook.

To turn off the Don’t download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail option, follow these steps: 1.Start Outlook.2.On the Tools menu, click Options.3.Click the Security tab, and then click Change Automatic Download Settings.4.In the Automatic Picture Download Settings dialog box, click to clear the Don’t download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail check box. 5.Click OK two times.

I do not get that page. it is just the outline of a box with a little box in it with a red X. I have outlook 98 is it too outdated? If so can I buy a new program online and download it?

I'm back, sorry. I thought I would just live with it. What I try to due is just forward the messages that have pics that I can't see to another email address like yahoo.com and look at it in web mail. Problem is more than not, When I click the forward bar, I get Outlook needs to close, do you want to send a report? this is before will forward it. it just closes outlook!! are there any other ideas to help me? it's got to be something in the security part, but I have tried toggling different things and it still doesn't let the pictures through.
