i have a problem with some websites???

[buggesy666]

when i go to some websites there are little boxes with a red X in them instead of showing a picture. i think it might have something to do with needing macromedia shockwave player but when i go to the website and try to download it the install box does not show up???
any help???

[alcoatjez]

AFAIK these boxes have nothing to do with Shockwave. Try putting your firewall off and see if they still appear. If not, change your firewall settings.

[buggesy666]

no all i get now is a little red square, green circle and a blue tringle
i disabled the firewall

There not broken images are they?

[mhl12]

make sure you have all necessary plugins installed (flash, etc..)

[buggesy666]

i have flash installed????

If you have tried uploading a picture onto your website, (guessing you using a FTP server?) you may have the [URL] of the picture wrong, make sure the[URL] of the picture is correct. All the red X means is that your picture hasn't been uploaded.

Could be or perhaps, fail to be uploaded on the web. :cool:

[buggesy666]

its not my websites its any i try to view

[josephman1988]

Then the images you are trying to view are animated and you do not have the correct software installed to view, when you view the page, is there a yellow bar at the top that say's you need to install a software? (ie.micromedia 8)

[buggesy666]

there is no bar? and when i try to install the latest version of macromedia flash player it says click the yellow bar at the top of the page but there is no bar!!!

Just tell what is the name of the site and we will check it for you. (Unless that site is an illegal ones) :cool:

[buggesy666]

well if i go to www.windows.com all it gives me is a red X

[alcoatjez]

Just download the Flash Player manually. http://www.macromedia.com => Downloads => Flash Player :)

[ticktock]

Try using a differnet browser, o think i read in one of your post earlier that you are using AOL, which sucks ass IMO, use Opera or Firefox

[buggesy666]

i never had this trouble before

[buggesy666]

does matter i got a new computer and use it (home network)

Put your PC back in the box, return it to the store, and never come back online again.

All your problems will be solved, and you save a few hundred bucks.
Some people just shouldn't graduate from consoles :excl:

I have the same thought myself. Or virus as the worst case for your PC.

[alcoatjez]

Did you even try the suggestions we gave you? :dry:

[buggesy666]

yes i now use firefox
