Wendy,
Showing in-line images in OE is little bit tricky. It doesn't always work.
But if you feel it did work in the past and it is related to your 'playing around' feel free to do a System Restore to the past when it still worked.

I cannot see images in my email. I was playing around with some services and was wondering if I could have turned something off that OE needs. I also went into tools and checked everything there and all is right. The box is unchecked for "Blocking Images..." Or could it be an update from Microsoft?

Thanks
