The .jpg and .gif files are not displayed correctly when you view a Web page that contains these types of images in FrontPage 2000

When you are trying to view a Web page with Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG) or Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images, the images may not be displayed correctly. Instead, they appear as boxes with a large red X. This issue can occur in Microsoft FrontPage and in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

This issue can occur if the values of the registry keys HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif\Content Type or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg\Content Type are set incorrectly. For example, the value image/bmp can cause this issue.

To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.
