Question
Hey,
When I'm surfing, sometimes I get a screen that looks normal bu has a box with a red x inside a smaller box.
What is that and do I need to do something.
I'm trying to get a picture of something.
Thanks,
Anne

Answer
This happens because Internet Explorer is not able to load the image.

There can be several reasons for this problem. First, it might just be, that the site wasn't loaded correctly in your browser, then you should just refresh the site. Secondly, it might be, that there is a pagefault on the site, for example, they have written the wrong address for the picture, or they haven't uploaded the picture. in such case, you could send them an email and point out the problem.
