Put new mainboard in box and then ran a Repair Install on XP Home. After
that I installed the current IT Service Pack downloaded from the MS site.

OE no longer will allow me to view newsgroup images in the Preview Pane. I
assumed it was the 'Virus' setting in the Security tab, but even after
unticking that I still can't view images. In fact... if I click on the paper
clip it opens Photo Editor. I do a lot in the rail photo and wallpaper
groups and do not want to have to go through 3 and 4 steps to open images,
not to mention waiting for PE to open and close and so forth every time.

I see Tim's suggestion to another poster concerning running regsvr32
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetcomm.dll and do not know if that also applies to me.
If so... can someone be more detailed about that?


There are a number of things I'm not thrilled with after this 'upgrade' that
I can live with, but I need to have use of the Preview Pane.




Suggestions?

OE>tools>options>read tab>read all messages in plain text>disable.
Or a safer way is select the message with a picture>Alt,V,H.
HTH?

That did it. Thanks. Didn't that only apply to mail before? I used to be
able to have Text Only in mail and still have Preview for News. I would
still like that arrangement if possible... Is it?



Thanks again for replying.

No it is a global setting, the option exists for posting though.

That is why I gave you the second option, set read all again & use Alt,V,H
when you need it?
