Question: Hello Erin. Here’s a situation I often encounter when using Internet Explorer that may also be “bugging” some of your readers. On some sites I see a tiny box with a little “x” inside of it, instead of the information I am seeking. Is this a problem with my software compatibility? Can I do something to open the box and release the contents?

Answer: Not to worry; it’s unlikely you’re experiencing software compatibility issues. For one reason or another your browser is simply being stubborn and has decided to hide certain images from you, replacing them with those little red x’s.

There are a several possible causes of this problem, but the great news is that (just about) all of them are easily fixed with one of four simple setting changes.
