JSI Tip 10500. A red X is displayed instead of a picture on some Web pages in Internet Explorer in Windows XP?

When you use Windows XP to browse the Internet with Internet Explorer, some Web pages display a red X instead of a picture.

This behavior will occur if the subkeys of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPluginsExtension and /or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPluginsMIME are corrupt.

I have scripted FixRedX.bat to resolve the problem.

To use FixRedX.bat:

1. Open a CMD.EXE windows.

2. Type FixRedX and press Enter.

3. Shutdown and restart Windows XP.

FixRedX.bat contains:

@echo offREG DELETE "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPluginsExtension" /F REG ADD "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPluginsExtension" /FREG DELETE "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPluginsMIME" /FREG ADD "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPluginsMIME" /F
