Are you able to get a screen capture of the websites you are viewing that look messed up?

It could possibly be a malware infection. Try scanning your system with Malware Bytes.

How to edit the picture?

You can edit a picture using Microsoft Paint brush. It comes free with Microsoft Windows XP and other MS OS.
To access Paintbrush. Go to the Start button and in the pop up menu click run. In the open run box type "mspaint" command and press Enter key. A window will open and you can edit pics.
MS Paintbrush is a very simple software. If you want to do something really rich you have to separately buy or download and purchase "Adobe Photoshop" to really work like professional.

Please tell me how do I get Backgrounds on my slideshow photos. Not the menu. At the moment my backgrounds are just black.

You need to right-click on any of the inserted photos when in edit mode. Go to "Background color" and choose from the palette. Here you can also choose to apply this colour to the rest of the photos in the chapter, or you can have a different coloured background for every photo if you wish.

No image...blank with red x or blue box in uper left corner...clicked on show pic. don't work .( computer is windows xp home edition) and sites i go on are taking to long to load.

1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Go to Tools Menu
3) Select Internet Options
4) Select Advanced Tab on right
5) Scroll down to Multimedia - make sure Show pictures box is enabled

The box you are describing can also mean that the image that is supposed to be displayed is no longer available on the site you are accessing.
If the sites you are accessing you should check to make sure that you are not downloading anything in the background, no one is using your wireless without your knowledge and that you are using WPA protection for your wireless access and not WEP.

Go to speedtest.net and check your speed... if you are still getting poor speeds - then you should call your ISP - they may need to reset your connection.

If this helped you then please help me and vote kindly, thank you
