Can't open .jpg images in OE

When I receive a message with .jpg attachments, they are visable in the body 
of the message. If I click on the "paper clip" and try to open the
image in 
Windows picture and fax viewer, I get a popup that say's "This action is
only 
valid for products that are currently installed". .jpg images open OK from

folders in My Pictures or My Documents, but not from attachments in OE. How 
do I resolve this?

You need to fix the OPEN action in Windows File Associations for JPG 
files.  This is what OE uses.  You need to make it like the Default 
action for JPG files which is probably PREVIEW.

See the Identifying Attachment File Types and Setting File Associations 
section of
