I don't know why this is but some of my jpg files will not open All I get is a large white box with a little box containing a small red cross in the top left hand corner. This is a new phenomenom so what has happened? Any help gratefully received.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Before I received it I tried to find a solution in the Help files and all I got was the same thing -boxes with little red crosses in which I can't open. When I tried "View Source" on one of the topics all I got was this :


</div><a name="BFAGCGACFJL_42"></a><div class="section">
