After installing Services Pack 2 I can get a list of all the

display images or pictures when selected.

Here is information about changes to OE which are probably causing what
you see:

"Outlook Express now has picture handling facilities similar to Outlook
2003. This prevents senders of spam e-mail from determining whether a
recipient opens a message. It does this by preventing the automatic
display of pictures from Internet servers. The user is presented with
placeholders and the Information Bar gives the user the option to
display the picture.
"An improved defense against Web beacons is to stop pictures from
downloading until you've had a chance to review the message. Outlook
Express in Windows XP SP2 will now block images automatically in
messages from people who are not in your address book. This goes a long
way in preventing the verification of your e-mail address for spammers.
It makes your e-mail name less useful to spammers and may result in
your getting less spam over time.
So you need to look in OE's settings and allow it to download pictures.
I don't use OE, so can't give you the exact place, but here is a
newsgroup to post questions about OE:
