I right click on the little box and click on SHOW PICTURE, but nothing changes.
I am running Windows 8 on a notebook with Internet Explorer.
Any ideas?
Thanks
On my computer, the problem seems to have appeared by upgrading to Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11). The problem didn't occur with IE 10 or earlier.

Your IE may have been upgraded without your knowledge. To find out what version of IE you have, on the IE menu, click on Help > About Internet Explorer.

This worked for me ... If you have IE 11 and you can't see the web cam, try this.
1. Go to www.thevillages.com.
2. While on that page, on the IE menu, click on Tools > Compatibility View Settings.
3. In the Add this website box, you should see thevillages.com
4. Click the Add button and it should appear in the box below, Websites you've added to Compatibility View
5. Click the Close button.

You should be back to thevillages.com, so click on the temperature to display the web cams. Hopefully the camera images will appear for you.

Perform these same steps for any other websites which display The Villages web cams.
