try pressing the F5 button after the pictures have stopped loading and the red X's are displayed.

what web browser are you using?

also, try right clicking on the red X and choose "view image"

if youre on dialup, lots of pictures will take ages to load and many wont load at all.

sounds like you are suffering due to dialup - I even struggle sometimes with broadband. If you get lots of the red X's ... simply right click on each one and select view picture - but do it one at a time - once they are 'cached' i.e. you computer has a record of them they will show each time you load the thread.

If you hold shift while you refresh the page your browser will bypass its cache.

If you need cheap but need support - get a dell. Not the best but resonable and you have the help desk etc.

But would recommend getting one with wireless technology - then get yourself broadband and then a wireless router / modem depending on your connection type.
