I am no expert but it sounds as if you have set it up not to show pictures - I get this sometimes on certain emails. If you right click on the X you should get a menu saying "show picture". I think.

Something is blocking the download/interpretation/display of picture files.
Maybe you have somehow barred certain sites ? Or maybe the server with the picture files is offline ?

Managed to find out was Java was and have downloaded the latest version - red crosses still there!! HELP!!!

Lord only knows how but I'd wonder about your anti virus software.

Why not right click on a cross, and select properties. Then copy & paste that address into your Net browser address box, to see if you can see the picture when you go to the place where the picture file is ? Or indeed if you can see anything on that site It might give a clue.

Perhaps re-install Adobe flash player if it's not Java?
