Have you got Red-X-Itis?
Problem - The red X is a program/internet way of telling you "I can't display this graphic". Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you why.
Microsoft has been able to identify and fix some causes of Red-X graphics, but the problem still occurs.
Solution - Right click RED X and select show picture - forces picture to reload
Cause - Lack of resources can cause Red-X problems. Windows uses a fixed pool of GDI resource memory, totally unrelated to the amount of physical RAM and HDD space you have. If this runs out, all manner of odd things can happen. If you suspect this might be the cause of your Red-X problem, restart Windows, then try the problem file again with mimimum programs running!!!
