Are you trying to do this locally on the computer? as in trying to view the image or
Are you trying to view this page on a web server?
What i do is in the folder where all the HTML files are, i have another folder called "images" with all the site images in there.
Then i would go into dreamweaver (which is what i use to edit my site) and then map to the image. If you have it working properly, you shouldn't need any of the C:\Users etc
If you need help with this, i can help you. I can do it for you if you would like.

that makes sense Atli, ill try that as soon as i get home, im currently out of town with my xp laptop so i cant test it, hope it works...

to everyone, my point of doing the img code locally is to check how it looks like while editing it before uploading it to the http server as im using notepad to create a page ...

Dreamweaver is pretty good, but not worth it in my opinion. Not when there are free alternatives that are just as good.

And if you plan on testing your designs on your PC, you could install a local HTTP server, so you can created your pages for the internet instead of messing around with this local file mess.
Check out XAMPP, or just the stand-alone Apache. Both are pretty easy to use.
(I'd be happy to guide you through it if you want.)
Please do not ask for help in a PM. Use the forums.
And use [code] tags!

Hey everyone im back and guess what solved the prob...
these 8 characters: file:///
youre the man Atli! and youre probably right, it may be a security "glitch" with windows 7 as opposed to when i use the old code (without the "file:\\\") in xp.
i will marked this solved now.
