any suggestions?

i just bought a new computer with windows xp home
edition. my old pc had windows ME on it. i must say i
like xp much more, however, i'm experiencing a problem
with my new one that i haven't experienced with my old
pc. once in a while while i'm browsing websites, the
images do not seem to load, i get a gray box with a small
red x in a little white box in the upper left hand
corner. is it a configuration problem? or is it certain
imaging does work with windows xp? my friend who is still
running winME can go to the same site and everything is
visible and fine, but i'm experiencing blank images with
x's in the upper left hand corner. what can i do?
