windows explorer not allowing certain things
hi,
i originally thought i had a MS outlook issue, when certain links in my email would not show their images which i was directed to...
images were not view-able. this was true even after after trouble shooting, re-installing and following up countless leads, no help.
but i realize now that it isA MS IE 9 which is my issue. google chrome show the images. i set MS ie back to defaults, no help.... what can i do.....
has anyone heard of this type of problem elsewhere?

Regrets. I am now quite confused.
"MS outlook receives an email.....opening it, shows text, and place holders..." So it seems the images you cannot see are in the MS outlook email. My earlier assumptions, as explained, were that the images were in links offered by the email.
"NOT the image I ......" ???
Consider the following from Outlook 2010 Help
"1.In an Office program, click the File tab.
2.Click Options.
3.Click Trust Center, and then click Trust Center Settings.

Why not try a repair of Outlook first?
Control Panel|Programs and Features|scroll to Microsoft Office (or Outlook) on the next window|right click on it|choose Change from the Menubar. Follow instructions to Repair only Outlook.
Or you could uninstall/reinstall Outlook.
And if that does not work, a Repair Install might be a less traumatic next step. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
It should not affect your installed programs and personal data, but a backup first never hurts.

by far the most on point answers I have yet to get.
it still did not solve my issue, but perhaps we are on to something...
I followed all steps of each link. I can not right click on the " red X place holder" and get a " "properties" from it....
lets go step by step.
MS outlook receives an email.....opening it, shows text, and place holders. the place holders say " the linked image can not be displayed. the file may have been moved, or deleted etc..... double clicking it brings me to a web site. NOT the image I ......
but if I forward this email to another computer which has MS outlook , I see the images in the body of the email...
double clicking it brings me to a web site. NOT the image I ......
so double clicking it brings me to identical places in both computers.
does this give my issue more clarity.?
as I said at the onset... it was MS outlook which first showed me an issue.
I also see another symptom...... slightly different.
I got an email from my old college. it does show a place holder...as did my other ones I wrote about. however this place holder reveals itself as a "jpg" . it still will not display.
let me know if you have more thoughts.
