I have tried to address all three problems mentioned, hope the
information/links is of assistance to you.

For the Pictures that have Red X

In IE, go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options.
Click on the Advanced tab.
Scroll down to the Multimedia section and make sure the box "Show Pictures"
is ticked.
