Links don't develop???

J

That may not be an accurate title. About half the time I download email using Entourage (Microsoft Entourage X for Mac Service Release 1, Version 10.1.6) I get a symbol for a link that, if things worked correctly, should develop into a picture. That fails to happen. I'm using a G5 (1.6 Ghz) Mac, running Mac OS X 10.5.2.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong? It isn't a constant occurrence, just sporadic and sometimes (but not always) if I bounce up and down between one email and another the links will develop one, or two, at a time. Other times nothing changes, just the incompleted links are displayed. I'd appreciate any suggestions to fix this as its pretty annoying.

I hope my explanation makes sense. If I could explain it exactly, I could probably fix it. I tried to use a picture of what I get as my avitar but don't know if that worked yet, guess I'll have to post this to find out.

You are using End of Life software that isn't even updated to the last
release. Do yourself a favor and get Home & Student version of Office 2008
for approx $130 at Amazon.

Link for Office updaters.

Look in Entourage preferences --> View. I don't have Entourage X to check,
but it should be in preferences.

Could be low memory. Leopard takes a lot of memory. You need at least 2 GB.

OK! I bought and installed Office 2008 and am running that now. Same problem continued. I bought and installed 2 GB of additional RAM. Problem remains unchanged. See the attachments to see what I'm talking about as the "symbols" have changed since I switched to Office 2008.

Any ideas or thoughts as to what I may need to do or change. I'm linked to the internet via a cable modem so speed shouldn't be a problem. I'm
guessing I just have a setting set incorrectly somewhere but have absolutely no idea which one it might be. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

jim
