The website that I was building on the course now no longer fires up via workspace when I try the preview and refresh approach. Instead I am asked to open the file via a choice of apps (IE, Chrome etc) or save. When I select an option such as IE or Chrome the site does open but none of the images appear rather a small blue 'x' in a box and all the formatting has gone. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

12,781 PointsCan we see your HTML and CSS (if applicable) for review? I've run into this issue before and I can't quite recall if it's due to some broken links in HTML, mislabeled pictures, pictures aren't uploaded, or the path to the images is incorrect. Try to show what you're working on and we'll see what we can come up with.
Also, have you tried the "Rubber Duckie" method? Try explaining your problem to an inanimate object (I use Android figurines) sometimes hearing your problem out loud helps. It sounds crazy but it works for me and many other developers do it.
