When viewing web pages or even information on a CD via internet explorer
certain frames do not display and only show a red cross. For instance if I
go to Help - About Internet Explorer I get a red cross at the top and the
bottom of the screen. I am trying to install an ADSL modem but I cannot read
the information on the CD supplied by the manufacturer (this is accessed via
the browser) as it is mainly composed of frames with red crosses in them. I
have tried upgrading from IE 6 SP2 to IE 7 and turning of all firewalls and
virus software. Nothing seems to help.

I hope I have posted this to the correct group.

Any assistance would certainly be appreciated

I have a similar problem. A couple of websites that I use the most are
severely compromised. They don't display important features, gridlines are
missing, etc... One really looks like a shell of a website.

I tried another browser and get the same thing. Consequently, I think it is
Vista. do you use Vista or XP?

More explicitly, that refers to these 3 files:

res://ieframe.dll/aboutXP.dlg

That has a .png at the top:

res://ieframe.dll/ielogodl.png

and a .gif at the bottom:

res://ieframe.dll/flag.gif

My guess would be that you have installed some other software dealing with
image files which has overridden and corrupted the default images file type
associations. Or, if you had some installed, say on a trial, and the trial
had expired or was removed uncleanly it would also explain your symptom.

One way to try restoring the default image file type associations
is to Run... (e.g. press Win-R and enter:)

regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

Note that this changes the file type associations for more than just the
above two file extensions. So, if you do have other software which
supports other ones which you want to keep using you might have
to find out how to reinitialize or customize it. Otherwise, don't use
that command but instead analyse your broken file types one at a time.

Good luck

Thanks for the response. I tried re associating the gif file extension but no
luck. I can still not see any gif extensions via the web browser. I think
your comment about another program may be correct however I cannot see how to
correct this. I am starting to think I may have to re install XP.

I tried your advice re regsvr32 hower I could the message that it couldn't
be found.

Regards
