Installed the downloaded version of SP2 and all seemed go well and quickly.
The only problem I note is that e-mail containing graphics (ads from Costco,
Staples and others) doesn't load the graphics -- just a little box with a
red "x" in it. Clicking on the "x" does result in opening an Internet
connection to the sender however.

Couldn't find anything in Help or Tools on this subject. Does anyone know
how to fix this?
 
Open Outlook Express and from the toolbar select:
Tools > Options > Security, uncheck "Block images
and other external content in HTML e-mail", then
click on Apply.

Thanks so much -- this did the trick. Feel kind of stupid after earlier
checking most of the things in "Options" --- just passed by the Security
tab, thinking it didn't apply to the problem. Really appreciate the experts
on this NG.
