It happens when the link to the picture is broken, either the picture was moved or deleted from the server.

If the load on the network is high internet explorer shows the red x rather than the picture.

Do you have any more detail around the load on your network. How many pages you tend to view at once?

Sometimes you can right-click on the X and select show picture. The image is then downloaded seperately.

I was having problems with this and discovered that it was a software conflict on my system. I removed the problem software and have not had a red X since. :)

Here arethe step to dispay the cure the red-x

Tools> Internet Option> General Tab
Temporary Internet Files> Settings
Check for Newer Version> Every Visit to the Page.

go to your Internet options and under the security tab set all settings to default levels.
and the advanced tab , both restored to defauly levels..
if it is still there it's simply means that there is a broken link.

If you are using Internet Explorer when this happens, try checking your Internet Options accessible from Tools on the Main menu bar or within the control panel and under the Advanced Tab, check your multimedia options to see that the box is marked next to Show Pictures. Sometimes this is disabled in order to make pages display faster especially during high network traffic.

Good Luck!
