Default Can't Open Jpeg files in OE6

I've been following a thread regarding this issue from May and thought
I had this solved but not!

Even since I installed IE 8.0 I can't open jpeg attachments in OE6
emails. I am using Windows XP... SP3 I do have spybot running in the
backgrond and have AVG but I have disabled incoming email scans from
AVG.

I tried deleting all the .tmp files, and for a few days opening jpeg
attachments worked. Then it stopped working... So something is
telling me its IE 8 causing this.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I can save the jpeg to a
folder and open them from the viewer but that is a real pain in the
neck.

Default Can't Open Jpeg files in OE6

What exactly happens when you try to open a Jpeg? Do you get any error
message?

If nothing seems to happen, hold down the ALT key and Press the TAB key
one or more times to cycle through all open windows to see if it might
have opened behind the current window.

If the file extension JPG or JPEG? JPG is the more common by JPEG is
also used. The Windows File associations considers those to be
different file types although they may open in the same application.

If you Right click a saved JPG/JPEG, does it offer OPEN (without any
additional words) as one of the actions? If not, try the following to
create an OPEN action:

Can you open other attachments, just not JPG/JPEG attachments?

Did you disable AVG and Spybot Residents SDHelper & Tea Timer and
de-Immunize Spybot prior to installing IE8?

Nothing happens when I double click on the ".JPG" files. Well, I
would get a split second hour glass. I can save the files and open
them in picture viewer.

Yes, I can open other attachments, only JPG attachments seem to be
effected?

I only disabled AVG incoming emails, and yes I disabled Spybot
Residents SDHelper & Tea Timer but did not de-Immunize Spybot prior to
installing IE8. I have windows XP set to automatically install
critical updates, and apparently MSoft considered IE8 critical. My
mistake.

Disable or remove AVG's email scanning component(s).

AVG's Resident Protection should have been disabled prior to installing IE8.

Thanks, I have AVG incoming emails disabled. Today I received an
email with a jpg attachment and was still unable to open it. Should I
uninstall IE8, disable all spyware, virus protection, etc. and re-
install? Knowing Msoft, is this a big deal to perform?

Simply disabling it normally doesn't work. You need to uninstall AVG, then
do a custom install, choosing not to install the email scanner. Then see
what happens.

Why not? I did that initially (on AVG Free) after reading the advice here.

All disabling e-mail scanning did was to show an error msg.

Later, in connection with other issues I reinstalled AVG using the custom
route and omitted e-mail scanning.

I don't think I ever had a problem because of the scanning, though. I just
disabled it preemptively because of the strong feelings about it by the
specialists.

My system is XP SP3.

Reinstall AVG and choose Custom Mode. Uncheck E-mail Scanning when you see
that option. Just unchecking it in the AVG Security Center usually causes a
conflict with the Windows Security Center.
