Expired or Illegal copy perhaps?!

Is the problem occurring only on sites you create or in any website. If it is only your creation then we need to see code...

You have two instances of bold tag left in wrong places see code bellow.

<DIV style="LEFT: 30px; POSITION: relative; TOP: 65px; visibility: visible;" id="buttonUp"><A 
onmouseover=javascript<b></b>:scrollUp() onmouseout=stopScroll() 
href=#><IMG src="http://romboy.oxyhost.com/up.gif" width=13 
height=13 border=0></A> </DIV>
<DIV style="LEFT: 30px; POSITION: relative; TOP: 290px" id="buttonDown"><A 
onmouseover=javascript<b></b>:scrollDown() onmouseout=stopScroll() 
href="#"><IMG src="http://romboy.oxyhost.com/down.gif" width=13 
height=13 border=0></A> </DIV>

As for the JPGs I do not see problems there. Maybe you misspelled image name, file extension or made mistake with actual path. Also I see you are using absolute path to the documents like in this case

<img src="C:\Users\SonnyDajAlexa\Desktop\test\smiley.jpg" alt="ROMboy.co.cc" title="ROMboy.co.cc" border="0" width="350" height="45">

which would create absolute nightmare to sort out when you upload it on net. It is better to stick to relative path. So if image is same level as html document "name.jpg" is fine, if image level up then "../name.jpg" and for level down "level/name.jpg".

yea, i agree the <b> code should not be there,
but everything's ok as far as the path goes, because after i enabled the "compatibility mode" (something like that..) in ie8, it finally showed up the jpgs., but i primarily use firefox for viewing my html... i checked firefox settings and nothing works...
