I know there is some program missing. When I get to the Tutorials there is a small box with a red X in it where the examples should be. I know I am missing a program somewhere in my computer but, cannot recall which one it is.
Can anyone help me with the name of it. (I think it may be a DirectX or something like that.)

If the X is red, then it is probably a problem with a picture. If it is a black box with a green x then that would probably be DirectX. To get it just google the name and you can get to the download site.

None of those worked. It is in the TDK tutorials.

OOOOOHHHHHH! the tutorials on the Forums! i thought you meant the tutorials that come with dbc! lol, I think that means it's not a supported image or something. Try That1SmartGuys idea or try rightclicking and hitting "Reload Image" that sometimes does it.

Ok, it was in the browser. Yeah that would be an unsupported image or an image that doesn't exist anymore. It could also be that you don't have security permission on your computer to view the pic (not likely seeing as how you are surprised to see it, but it is a possibility)

It may not be there anymore. These are old tutorials. I can probably figure out what I am supposed to see anyway.
I can live with this one.
Thanks anyway. We tried.

Definitely, it means the image cannot be found. Either the link to the image is missing or damaged or the image no longer exists to be downloaded.

With TDK's tutorials, he probably uploaded the images onto his own website - but his website's vanished and TDK hasn't been around here for months. No one seems to know what's become of him, but don't turn this into a "What happened to TDK" thread! (There have been two on Geek culture already)

Edit: Actually, when I say his site's vanished, it's technically still there but the huge DBC section has disappeared )

I am copying the tutorials now so I can print them out. I take the body of it and paste it to Word then copy all the code there also.
It is becoming quite a book. I use it when I am working with DB.

I found the pictures in the DB PRO Tutorial at the top of the DB Pro section.
