1.Unable to open JPG files in OE6 after SP2 download

I am running Windows XP SP2 and Outlook Express 6. After download of XP SP2 I 
can not open .jpg attachments in Outlook Express 6. It is not a security 
setting because I can open other attachments fine and I don't get any OE 
security messages.  When I attempt to open the .jpg file I get the message...
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this 
action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."
If I save the .JPG to my PC I can then open it without problems but do not 
want to have to SAVE every JPG that I want to view.  I have searched for a 
solution to this problem which I think was introduced by a SP2 from Windows 
Update. I have the same problem now on my laptop after SP2 donwload. Both PCs 
have file associations set up fine so I do not appear to have a file 
association problem. The only place I cannot open the file is OE6. Help!

2.Can't Open Newsgroup Messages in OE6 XP SP2

I have seen what may be similar issues in the past, however, haven't seen a 
resolution that works for me.
I have Windows XP, SP2 with Internet Explorer 7, running Outlook Express 6, 
and have created a newsgroup account, and subscribed to several Newsgroups.  
An example is:  microsoft.public.pocketpc.ebooks
The newsgroup does show up in the list, however, when attempting to open the 
newsgroup to see actual messages, the screen just flashes and immediately 
goes right back to the list of newsgroups.  I can never get into the actual 
newsgroup to read or reply to messages.

On this same computer, if I "uninstall" Windows SP2, ALL Newsgroups function 
perfectly normal.  It is only on SP2 that it fails to work.  I have 
replicated this problem on several different computers.

Can anyone please advise on possible things that can correct this problem.  
On my work computer, it also works, until I install SP2.  The problem is that 
I need to have SP2 installed to comply with the corporate computer image.

Thank you,

3.Win XP Pro SP2 strange "warn before opening" in OE6

I just recently took delivery of a high-performance custom-
built  PC. It has an AMD 3700 CPU, a 4 gig memory, a 260 gig 
Maxtoor HD, both a CD/DVD reader and  CD/DVD burner.

My Windows version is /retail/ Win XP Pro SP1 on the CD, but I 
installed SP2 from the free CD Microsoft mailed me. This is 
retail, and /not/ OEM. And, it is activated and /all/ updates 
have been applied on top of SP2.

On my older SP1 PC, /all/ graphics file types coming to me via 
E-mail in Outlook Express as attachments (not pasted it) 
automatically gave me the "do you want to open or save?" 
dialog box when I click on a graphics file under the "paper 
clip" button.

The non-graphics types, including TXT, DOC, XLS, PPT/PPS, etc. 
never gave a warning, they just opened. However, on my new SP2 
box, all the non-graphics attachments /do/ give a warning, 
which is fine. I feel more secure this way.

My connundrum is this: /all/ the graphics formats, /all/ of 
them, /except/ JPGs issue the warning before open, which again 
I like. However, /all/ the JPGs will automatically open in 
whatever app I have associated to them (usually that is Jasc's 
Paint Shop Pro 9.01.1).

First, how do I get the JPGs to trigger the warning? Then, how 
do I get the radio button back as in SP1 allowing me to choose 
between "open" and "save"? Yes, there is a menu choice to 
"save attachments" but I like the SP1 way better.

I remember seeing somewhere that the XP Registry contains a 
list of "safe" and "unsafe" file extensions which both IE6 and 
OE6 use to decide whether to warn me or not. But, alas, I 
cannot put my finger on that.

I /have/ verified that warnings are fully turned on for /all/ 
extensions, by looking at Explorer's Tools>Folder options>File 
types, but do not see anything at all amiss.

Surely I am missing something easy here, but I have searched 
for hours in the MS KB using all possible search strings to no 
avail. Ditto for Google.

Any help would be appreciated.
