Hello:

One or the other of these 2 symbols occasionally appear when I click on a link or try and save a picture.

The first is a tiny square containing an even smaller red square, a blue triangle and a green dot--always in the upper left corner of a blank screen. I've gathered this is an ActiveX Object icon. What does THAT mean and do I get it because of something to do with my computer or because what I am trying to view is for some reason unavailable? BOTTOM LINE; WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?

The 2nd symbol I get is a small white square with a tiny red x in it. I don't recall the precise conditions when I get this; just that I do not get whatever it was I wanted. AGAIN, is this my computer or unavailability...or what? And also again, what can I do about it?

I'm running XP and MSIE 6.0

John
