Settings- Red X's on webpage instead of icons

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Don't know if this is a security issue or not but think it has to do with my
settings in Internet Explorer. I have Version 6 and use Windows XP. Whenever
I go to www.real.com to try to download Realplayer, I get red X's instead of
icons so I'm not able to click on the Download icon. Hopefully, someone here
can be more helpful than customer service at Real Player.

I also have a laptop with Windows 2000. It has no problem getting to the
site and performing the download. I've compared IE settings between the two
computers but they're somewhat different and I can't find a solution.

Please help. Thanks.

Monrog,

Why bother with Real Player when you can use Real Alternative :

or

You're welcome. Are the .ram files on your system ? RealAlt will play
..ram files if they're not corrupted.

If the system in question is only getting Red X's at real.com then it's
a site specific issue, not related to the system. Have a look here for
further clues :

I can't see JPG's or GIFS any more - red x - images missing / fuzzy
images/distorted images

You could also try installing the RealPlayer plugin for IE from here:
