Ajas, If you're trying to display more than just the image in the browser CFContent isn't of much use to you. Check out the livedocs for the description of why. It will only display the referenced content on the page and nothing else (which is why your text disappears).
The web browser doesn't understand the server/share format for the image. If you don't want to put a webserver up to serve that image from the server, you'll have to use the "file://" protocol header on the URL. That's just the way it works. If you drag the image from the server to a web browser window you'll see the properly formatted URL. I don't think your earlier examples had enough slashes. This all assumes that the user and machine running the browser will have network access to the server and share. If that's not the case, take the webserver route.
