I upgraded to Windows 7 this weekend and, ever since, all my images/photos have changed to red 'X's. My settings are checked to 'show pictures'. What other settings could you suggest I check? I have AOL 9.1. Please take nothing for granted in your response!

do you mean the images stored on your computer like personal photos, or the images you're trying to see while you're browsing the internet?

Both. For instance, some of the icons in the Post Icons section show the image, but most are X's and have the descriptive word next to it. Also, a website I've been working on that was showing both personal and other photos/images before now doesn't show much of either. I can't say it was the program because I fooled around with some other settings but I can't think of any I changed that would have had this affect.

first, try and use a different browser. since you probably don't have other browsers, try internet explorer. if you are using internet explorer 8 that came with windows 7, there should be a button to the right of your address box called compatability view. it looks like a piece of paper ripped in half. give that a click.

Try runing the website on comparability mode, that should fix it.

Also try firefox instead of IE see if that fixes your issue.

There's your 1st problem....:lmao:

Windows 7 was my first clue to her problem... I guess nobody pays attention to TV commercials.

Been running Windows 7RC since it was released, I have had no problems. :shrug:

Is AOL 9.1 compatible with Win7? I am willing to bet it's AOL and not Win7, as this is probably the most stable OS MS has ever released.

:yay: :yay:

I run IE8 in Compatability Mode for all site;

Tools | Compatability View Settings -> check the box "Display all websites in Compatability View"

:whistle:


I would suggest a real Internet Service Provider ...


but it is probably an IE issue

Guess you believe all that Apple hype. Have heard very few legit complaints on Windows 7. Best OS coming off the chopping block I've ever heard about, including all those "amazing" Apple variants :wink:

I bet Windows 7 isn't compatible with AOL 9.1 and since AOL 9.1 is...AOL...which everyone ditched 5-10 years ago...that's likely the problem.

That was my first thought... AOL is a system HOG.

I took my laptop to work and with high speed everything displayed correctly. Back home with dial-up, I'm in the same boat with those pesky red 'X's. Does that shed anymore light on the problem?

Since AOL seems so unpopular here, who likes what and why?

It means that your dial-up provider isn't working very well with the pictures. When you use AOL, are you using the AOL internet browser? Are you using an external browser once you get your dialup via AOL? I forget how AOL works now. It's either the browser on AOL or it's possible your dial-up is so slow that it abandons the idea of loading the pictures and goes with the friendlier red X so you can actually view the page without waiting an hour on the pics.

I've heard things about Netzero that are positive, but I've never used it myself. I don't know what kind of dialup people use around here though.

sounds like place holders for pics to save on bandwidth

Hey, thanks everyone for your suggestions. This is what appears to have happened. When I upgraded Vista to Windows 7, it seems that my AOL 9.1 didn't support it, so I upgraded to AOL 9.5 which included compatibility with Windows 7 and all my red X's have magically disintegrated! Back in business.:starcat:
