Yes Bruce, did all the 'obvious' checks posted here and MS KB, and various
internet sources.

Did find a KB article describing how to uninstall and then, reinstall OE
and
I just may have to go to that if no one else can come up with suggestions.

I installed cable broadband last week and ever since, all my email
messages
have been stripped of the html graphics. I subscribe to numerous
trusted
sites i.e. Amazon.com, Buy.com, Cnet.com etc. and now only get text
messages accompanied by those little boxes with the red 'x' in them.

Have confirmed all the Security settings as described here and
elsewhere.
Plus, the option View Message in HTML is now grayed out.

My ISP, Comcast cable, insists they installed no software that would
disable
this feature yet I had no problems for years on my clunky old dial-up.

I'm sure there's another setting I have to locate, possibly in the
registry,
or Internet Explorer, or some other?

WinXP Home SP2

Thanks !
