visited links no longer change color

The links still work when clicked but, no longer show purple when visited.
This happens in both Outlook and Outlook Express. Yesterday I tried making
fonts a little larger as I have eyesight problem. Not sure if this is when
the link color problem started.
What I did exactly is:
*Tools > Options > Mail Format > click "Fonts" button > click "International
Fonts" button
* At first I went through the list making each one "Larger" font size.
* I realized that it's probably only "Western European" I need to change, so
all others were set back to "Medium". I then clicked "Set as Default" on the
"Western European". I don't see where this has made any difference at all to
the font size and now the links colors have a problem.

Have already deleted, IE History file, TIF and cookies. Have registered
urlmon.dll
Have also checked another profile on system. Seems to be global, not per
user.

Is there another setting I should try? Or another DLL to register?

Did you install Windows XP SP2? If so, this is a known issue.

Yes. This is a recent install. Clean install, then SP-2. I'm quite sure it
was working, then quit. I didn't know if was me getting into the fonts or
something else. Only seems to happen in the "read" windows. The compose
windows are OK.
