Yahoo photos...

In my yahoo photo album some of my photos won't load or turn into red x's. They would load until last night and I was wondering if this was happening to anybody else?

Intro,

Whenever posting questions on these forums, please give us as much information as possible about your computer. We need the operating system, processor speed, amount of RAM installed, brand name of the computer, (if there is one), and any EXACT error messages you are receiving, and plus any other info you think might be important. Are you sure that the server isn't having problems? Have you tried accessing your pictures on another computer? The more information you give us, the better informed our answer will be. Enough of that, back to your question.

While your preparing to give us more information, please try this:

Open Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" in the upper left corner, choose "Internet Options". When that loads, click on the "Advanced" tab, then scroll down to the "Multimedia" section. Place a CHECK mark in the box next to "Show Pictures" and UNCHECK the box next to "Show image download placeholders". Click on "Apply", then OK.

Hope this helps and give us that info please.

Grif
