Images showing at design time but not runtime

Hey all,

I'm using Visual Web Developer 2008 and I have somewhat of a problem.  As the message header stated, I can see the images just fine at design time but when I run the site (local host), the image won't show.  I have tried all the usual tricks, ~/,  ../,  MapPath and nothing will work!  I have tried setting the image url with the properties editor and it generates the ~/ code which is not working.  Does anyone have an idea of what to do?
