I have set security to low and have allowed OE to
open potentially dangerous attachments.

A very bad decision.

No antivirus program is running cause I have not installed any yet.

Ditto.

I did check http://aumha.org/a/noads.php and all is ok.

That page performs only the most cursory of checks for 'hijackware'.
Getting an OK there does /not/ mean the machine is clean (especially with no
AV app installed)!

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

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
