it sounds like you path is messed up if you can view it on the computer and not on another. Check it and see if your page's path is something like c:\documents and settings\somethin\yeah\chesse\layered vaccum

You can't copy and paste an image into a page because it generally doesn't do the path correctly. It's more than likely looking for the image on the pc you're using. You have to upload the pics to the server and link them from it.


post a link to the page and we can tell you if that's the case

That means that you're linking to a file on your computer. What you're looking for is something along the lines of <img src="/path/to/file/image.jpg" />

The file must be uploaded and then linked.
