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 -- You know who~ -------------------------------------------------------- "If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?" - Will Rogers (1879-1935) Cats, Audio,Purgatory: http://you_know_who.home.att.net/ |

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. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...8-1171988A62D6 Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.

Did you have an antivirus program running in the background while you were
installing the updates. Your install may well have been corrupted. Can you save attached image files sent to you? Have you checked your computer for malware? If not, see this link: Go here for info: http://aumha.org/a/tshoot.php#malware And for a quick check: http://aumha.org/a/noads.php -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...8-1171988A62D6 "You Know Who ~" wrote in message ... thanks, but I've been there, done that (there were 32 updates) what else can I do? b "Jim Pickering" wrote in message ...

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, 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 b "You Know Who ~" wrote in message ... Ok, here is the situation. Graphics and pictures do not come through in HTML messages.

You mean you were using an incorrect shortcut to the program? In any case,
your headers in this post reply now indicate that your system is current.

Yup, evidently when WinXP copied over the settings, it included a shortcut
to the old OE on a second drive. The fact that the two drives had different formats (the old one, of course, FAT 32) probably didn't help the situation. As always, thanks for being there. b "Jim Pickering" wrote in message ... You mean you were using an incorrect shortcut to the program?

The drive format had nothing to do with the situation.
