# Header images aren't working

 * Hi all, I’m new to wordpress, looking to start out with a new header image. Googling
   around reveals this is a common issue, but I have no idea how to fix it on Windows.
 * I’m localhosting on a Windows Server as it was easy to install and curious to
   see how it worked.
 * I found right away was that customizing the default themes or other freebies 
   for testing means the header image doesn’t work properly.
 * Whenever I select a header, it gives me a broken image on the crop selection 
   box. [ See image reference here
 * How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

 * that link in your post doesn’t show anything. also, be aware that wordpress “
   will” work on a a windows server but it runs much much better on a linux server.
