Red X is probably one of the most annoying features of the Net. Why do they appear? Well if I can I will eliminate them for you with 3 ( Three ) solution which are :-

It could be that your anti-virus or firewall might be set to disable web bugs. That presents the question:- What is a web bug? Not very important; just a tiny image used for statistic tracking on websites. Sometimes this setting prevents other images from being shown.

How do you fix it? Go into your anti-virus settings and look for a setting called “Disable Web Bugs” and uncheck it. Not all anti-virus programs have it, so you might have to explore a bit!

Next:- You Internet Explorer security settings are set too high.

How do you fix it? In Internet Explorer go to Tools>Internet Options and then click on the Security Tab. Here look and see what your security level is at. I tend to keep mine at Medium-High, which allows for most of what I want, and little of what I don't. You have to gauge how you use the Internet and where you go to consequentially adjust this according to your vunerability.

Finally:- Windows XP Service Pack 2 introduced a feature called “Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail” This is automatically turned on in programs like Outlook Express, where it is probably the most common occasion which it apears.

How do you fix it? For both Outlook and Outlook Express you can fix this by clicking the info bar at the top of the message body. This is just a per-message thing, however. If you want a more permanent solution, click on Tools>Options>Security, and then uncheck the “Block images and other external content” check box.
