Dear CNET members, This week's question from Marc regards red Xs appearing on Web pages. This could stem from many factors, and without further knowledge of what he has running on his system, the sky's the limit as to the causes. So Marc, while I have selected Rick's winning answer to start you off on your quest to solve this issue, please check out all the honorable mentions and other recommendations from our members. And if one particular solution provided by a member happens to be the one that solves your issue, please acknowledge the solution in this week's discussion and e-mail me to let me know who it is, because I'd like to reward that person in addition to this week's winner. And as always, if any of you have other suggestions, please share them with us. Thank you, everyone, for your participation!
