Thanks, but i figured it out. It appears that for whatever reason Win Xp
was using the "old" OE on the other drive with windows 98

Ok, here is the situation. Graphics and pictures do not come through in
HTML messages. Also, I cannot copy parts of a message sent (can only
select
"select all" and then copy that.
I can open attachments. I have set security to low and have allowed OE to
open potentially dangerous attachments. All recommended updates have been
downloaded and all are now installed.
This is a clean install (dual boot system with win98 on another drive).
Win XP was installed on a new drive. I am now almost exclusively using
WinXP. HTML messages download just fine in outlook 2000 (which is also
on
windows XP). However, the same messages in Outlook Express do not show
(instead, there is an icon where there should be pictures or graphic
files.
No antivirus program is running cause I have not installed any yet. I did
check http://aumha.org/a/noads.php and all is ok.
One more weird thing. Opening Internet Explorer (which seems to work
fine)
I noticed a single letter at the top left corner. (seems like that used to
say Internet Explorer in win98) the letters vary, sometimes an A,
othertimes an M.
Please help. Would love for this system to be running right. And I do
prefer OE to outlook.
Thanks.

From your headers: "Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1409"
Did you /install/ them?

First thing to do is visit Window Update and download/install all
updates
marked as Critical for the operating system I suspect you'll find
quite
a
few.

Hi
finally upgraded my computer to Windows XP home and am having an issue
with
outlook express. I cannot see images and cannot edit or copy from the
messages.
I have IE set to fairly low security and DO NOT have plain text
checked
for
viewing messages.
What could be wrong??
thanks in advance
