Linked Picture Problem

We have created a number of linked pictures on a website using this format:

<A target='_blank' href="(address)/"><IMG BORDER="0" WIDTH="nnn" HEIGHT="nnn" SRC="(address).jpg"></A>

When the page loads, all the linked pictures come up except for one. The link shows as a box with a red "x" at the top left. If I click the link, I am taken to the correct site. Then I click "back" and the picture magically appears.

How can we make it work properly?
Please help before I beat my computer with a club.

I didn't type that "target=blank" stuff between "A" and "HREF". It just showed up. (stupid stupid computer)
The "target = blank" is down to AB's software. If you can right click on the picture and "Show Picture" and that works then I'm not sure that there's anything that you can do to fix this. That would imply to me that your html code is OK and that your server is being temperamental.
What's the page address?
Blimey.. I could be famous here! I'll cut you in for 10% Ed!

Naughty webmaster. Shouldn't steal other's bandwidth by linking their pictures in your site. Better to copy pix into your site and serve directly rather than remotely. so you get something like

<a target='_blank' href="http://www.http://casalindo.spain.com><img src=http://www.ezapf.co.uk/images/church.jpg height="267" width="200" border="0"> where www.ezapf .co.uk is your site.

Who said anything about stealing bandwidth?
Also, I prefer relative paths for all links and if you're at all concerned about serving visually impaired users and complying with web standards all images should have an "alt" tag/description.
