The internet server that you got that particular tile from sent you
an error message in the image most likely.  You can look at that GIF
file to see, then delete it from the cache.

What internet server were you using to get it?  If 1.9.8, probably
Tigermap and it's old?  Tigermap server is now no more.  You'll need
a later 1.9.9 to use Open Street Map servers.
