the only OL setting to the one that blocks downloads - the image place
holders have the X but also say to r-click to show the pics. It's pretty
hard to miss the text so I'm assuming that not the cause.

since it works in safe mode and safe mode means no addins loaded - do you
have an antispam or antivirus addin? they could be blocking pics.

Hi Diane - Thanks for the tip, however it did not solve the problem. I
also
tried cleaning the OL temp folder which did not help either...

Two interesting points - if I save an HTML message and open it in Word
2007
it displays correctly with pictures and graphics similarly, similarly if I
open the message in IE7 it dispalys correctly.

Also, if I start OL 2007 in Safe mode, the Reading Pane correctly displays
the graphics and pictures...this is what leads me to believe there is a
setting or Registry entry that is preventing the correct display when
starting OL normally.

Any other ideas?

Just upgraded from Office 2003 to 2007. Everything seems to work fine
except
I am unable to configure OL2007 to display pictures in email messages.
I
have
read messages on this group and others regarding configuration.

A red x appears where the pictures are suppose to be and I have cleared
the
checkmark in the Tools - Trust etc. When I set to ask before
downloading
the
message in the email prompts me to reight click to download, but when I
do,
the message goes away but the red x remains.

I have tried a repair and reinstall with no luck. Is there a setting I
am
missing somewhere
