Cannot download images in Outlook 2003 after installing IE7

[Joe Luxford]

If I uncheck the tickbox in Outlook 2003 at
"Tools/Options/Security/Change Automatic Download Settings/Don't
download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail", all
my emails come through OK showing the embedded images etc.

When the box is ticked, there is the usual square with an enclosed red
X asking you to right click the box to download the images.
Unfortunately, right clicking cannot open the image. When I right
click the red X again, it offers to copy the embedded image which can
then be opened elsewhere, but not in the email - where you want to view
it.

This problem coincided with updating to IE7 on two of our computers
here - neither of which can download images with emails anymore. The
third computer on our network still has IE6 and it works fine.

Is there a fix or do I have to reinstall IE6 to overcome the problem?

Hi, I've the same problem as Joe L. but I also have another
stumbling-block: I can't find the "Change Automatic Download
Settings/Don't

If you have Outlook 2003, the button will be on the tab you describe right
below the Security Zones section. Without Outlook 2003, I don't think
you'll have it.

Microsoft broke 2002 and 2003 by merging information between profiles.

Not true. Profile data is never merged unless you specifically do so.

Thus you can't have seperate accounts set up using the newer versions
without creating seperate users.

False.

Don't know if this will help but we had the problem where certain
users
wouldn't see inline pictures. What fixed it was deleting the Outlook
cache directory contents (or you can delete the whole folder -
Outlook
will create it again). Usually at Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKXX. The
folder will start with OLK and have some other numbers/characters.
You
can also find it by opening an attachment, say a Word document, and
do
a File, Save As. That will show you the temp directory. And I will
add this took me quite a while to figure out ;-) I put a shortcut to
this directory on those users' desktops so they could empty out the
folder as it seemed to happen again and again.

Hope this helps,
