WAMP won't show HTML images?!

Hello. I am thinking this is a WAMP issue.

I’m working with WordPress on WAMP on a PC. Everything is working great except that I am unable to successfully show a foreground image. I thought for a while I was making some error in writing the HTML, but that’s not it. I tested my HTML code:
<img src=”image.jpg”>
on a non-WAMP, non-Wordpress site, and the image appeared.
I even tried absolute paths instead of relative, and that didn’t work either.

Background images are showing up fine. But sometimes, you just need a foreground image.

For example, on page.php, my design is just fine. But then I try to insert <img src=”1.gif”/>. Nothing. I’m using Dreamweaver so I know it’s cited correctly. (The image is on the same level as my page.)

I am hoping that when I actually make the site live, the images will show up. I have never actually activated a live WP site, though, so just doing so really quick is not an option as it will take a while and I’d like to get it right first!

Thanks in advance for any replies.
