Outlook Express Jpeg Attachment Viewing

[Guest]

I have a brand new PC with XP and Outlook express. For the first two days, any jpegs that were received as attachments to an email were viewable with the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" - ie scaled, etc

ALl the sudden, they are now shown as pure jpegs - meaning that 3MP pictures now are not viewable on the screen. The only change I made was to install Photoshop. I changed the preferred viewer for JPEGS and GIFS back to the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" in the My Pictures folder, but that does not seem to have impacted how jpegs are viewed in Outlook Express.

Is there an extension that I need to say I want the Pic Viewer as the preferred viewer for? When I open pics in My Pictures, it works properly.
