What happens when you save the JPG to your hard drive and try to open it
from there? Does PowerPoint still try to open it?

FYI, I'm a new Outlook user and also not a computer guru, so please bear
with
me.

When I receive an e-mail that has pictures attached and I double click on
the attachment, Outlook appears to use Powerpoint to open the picture. I
then receive a window that says: Powerpoint can't open the type of file
represented by c\documents and settings\bill\local settings\temporary
internet files\OLK8D\funny_shirts_47(2).jpg -- and an OK button to click.

I then reply OK and don't get to see the pictures unless I forward the
document to my AOL account and view them there.

Thanx for your help
