Within the past couple of weeks I've run into a problem with Outlook 2003; but only with embedded images, not file attachments. It is a random occurrence -- by which I mean it doesn't happen with every email containing embedded images and it doesn't happen with all embedded images in the same email. If, for example, there are, say, six embedded .jpeg images it is usually only the first one or two that don't appear -- they'll have the box with the red "X." However, the remaining embedded images do appear. Interestingly, if you choose "Reply" or "Forward" the missing image(s) miraculously appear. None of the settings in either Outlook 2003 or my browser have changed at all -- they're all the same as before this problem began to appear. And unless Microsoft sneaked a change in on me that I'm unaware of, there have been no downloaded updates. Does anyone know what the cause of or solution to this random event happens to be. I've been unable to find anything so far except a handful of other postings referring to the same problem. So far, no solution has been posted.

There is a registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security. It contains a key called "OutlookSecureTempFolder ".

Delete the key! This fixed my issue with any embedded GFX and the red cross.

Inoordink suggested what I was going to suggest, too. Good luck!
