Okay, it has to be the updated security settings in Internet
Explorer 6.0. I have a second computer networked to my satellite
modem, and the images on my web pages as well as the
Xatshow/screensaver_maker/ display perfectly. The second computer
uses Win XP but has not of the windows updates applied.

The gateway computer is updated with all Windows security patches,
and DirectX 9.0, but will not display the web shows. All I get is a
black square and the error message, "Image not created by Xatshow."
(A bald-faced lie!)

I guess everything is find if you don't mind creating and uploading
web shows on one computer, then going to a second to view the web
show. Did I mention that each web show previews perfectly when
viewed from my hard drive, but not when viewed from the web.

Bummer! :-( I remain open to suggestions.
