    Try this Open Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs Tab, reset web settings, take out tick of reset homepage, then Yes/ok...

    In failing that have you got the program to open that sort of file.

    Mmm so have you saved the pictures to your PC first then tried to open
    them, Save one on your desktop, hover the mouse over it or right click choose properties, How big is the file?

    There is about 30 attachments in this email.... it says they are 0.02MB to 0.04MB

    Normally these photos open when I open the email. I don't normally save them.

    Save one to the desktop then try opening with a image editor i.e Paint.

    Might just Might of been resetting Internet Explorer as before, or your email
    program didnt open/close properly so you closed it and opened it again
    and might of just gave it a boot up the jacksy.
  • Liverbird,

    If it comes back, and you are using Outlook with Word as your email editor, check (in Word) that Tools/Options/View/Picture Placeholders is not ticked..
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
