Question

I click on the little red x in the u.l. corner and nothing happens.I turned off the pop-up blocker and nothing.

Answer 1

If they are sending just pictures, you could ask them to convert the pics to .jpg or .png format and then email it to you. These are common image formats that you should not have trouble viewing. The current problem may  occur if they send you the pictures in a format for which you don't have a software to open and view them.

Answer 2

They have a different type of file sent. And you can't open it in your computer because you dont' have the same software they do. Ask them to sent it in a portable software.

Answer 3

Yoy don't click on the x. Rather, you will find a different coloured bar where that "x" is appearing. When you click on the bar (not "x"), then you will find it sliding and click on Allow Active-X Controls or some other option that asks you for allowing. Then, hopefully you will see the pics.
