Can't see the photos

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to my computer to see the photos on this web site. All I get is a little white box with a red X.

You probably have to enable.."something" others more sophisticated than I will tell you....but try right clicking on the x and a dropdown will come up...left click on the "Show Picture"....

Adjust the screen, restart, change control panel, right click, press start, then shut it off and buy a new computer http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif

If you use IE, ... look in the menu:
Tools/Internet Options/advanced ...

make sure in the Multimedia section, the Show Images Box IS checked.

In other browsers, ... you may have disables images too.

Colt is so correct.
I use Mozilla Firefox.

I never use Internet Explorer. IE has HUGE holes. It's like trying to keep water with your kitchen sieve.

Right now, there is a security alert, but the patches won't be available until later on. Go figure.

Well, there is zero plus one reason....some things just don't download via Firefox....understand there is an extension available to automatically switch you back from Firefox to IE on those occasions though....

duckster,
You're right. There is one thing that cannot be downloaded from Mozilla: Microsoft Updates. Microsoft looks for its own product. That is the only time I ever use IE. (FYI: as of a few days ago, they still haven't released the critical patch. Last time this happened, they said it would be released during their normal quarterly updates. There was such an industrial uproar, they released it early.)

With that, I've never had a problem downloading anything (except critical patches) using Mozilla. I do occasionally have trouble downloading something, but that is not Mozilla: it's the server on the other end or sometimes my stupid computer forgets what it's doing. I tend to multi-task as much as A.B.

I have a friend who multi-tasks enough he uses two moniters...anyway he tells me his Firefox won't download some financial stuff he works with...just an FYI

Multiple monitors require different set-ups. I have one set-up at work, and it takes a different configuration. Maybe it's the way he has things set up because it does require some fine-tuning. I'm sure your friend thinks everything is set up correctly, but Mozilla is not the problem of downloading.

Now there is sometimes a case where the sys admin guy on the other end blocks certain things. It can be done, but not very often. The main reason to put something on the web is access. Blocking servers from certain browsers doesn't make sense, but it can be done for whatever reason.

Many years ago, when IE didn't have so many exploitable holes, I would have trouble accessing a UK server. It would hang up. Then I would switch to another browser, and it would access fine. But, then again, the term "hacker" was a good thing and simply meant programmer.

Just rambling thoughts on a rainy morning waiting for tea to steep....

James,
Good idea! A lot of people forget simple clean-ups like dumping cache. I do a clean-up EVERY time the kids use my computer for school work if they need the 'net. (I'm not crazy enough to network their computer to the ones I have.) I clean couple times a week regardless of what I do or where I go.

There are also other things to do to make a computer run easier. A lot of things clutter a drive, and there are some great sites out there to help anyone from novice to expert.

The BEST thing anyone can do is get couple of good anti-virus and good spy-ware products, use them often, and always UPDATE. (My sister bought Mcafee and never thought to update definitions.)

Remember, one product does not do it all. We have two types of anti-virus and three anti-spyware. Each one looks for things a different way. I have often had a case where one will catch a fragment of something where another wouldn't.

In the computer world today, you can't be too paranoid.
