Make sure the image is in images/admin/code_bg.jpg.

Make sure there are no spaces or blank lines before or after the <? ?> tags in admin/language/lang-english.lang.

If that doesn't resolve it, PM me your
ftp url, id, pw
and
site adminid and password.

Ok, just now getting started on this again. Everytime i go to the language-english.php file there is a space after the ?> I backspace to remove the space, save, and then go back to it and it's still there.

Also, the code_bg file is there.

Now, my security code for the users isn't displaying.

You recently changed your config.php (11:15:2003 11:17:00) and there are several blank lines after the closing ?> ! That's your NEWEST problem. Whatever editor you are using to modify your files, STOP USING IT!!!!! Get a real programmer/text editor like textpad (http://textpad.com)

Whenever you have this problem, especially when it just starts after editing a file, always check that file for blank lines.

ok, I edited it through cpanel. I do have text pad, so I used that and it worked. I wasn't aware that cpanel screwed things up like that. Thanks for your guidance Raven! It is now operating properly.
