Suddenly Can't open Pictures

As of a couple days ago, my outlook express suddenly is having problems opening any pictures sent to me. In the actual email window, the photo appears with only a thin strip at the top showing and the rest is a blank solid color. When I try to open the actual attachment, picture viewer (which usually opens the photos easily) says "Drawing Failed."

At least 3 ppl. sent pictures that I couldn't open so it definitely is something on my end. I even sent myself and email with a photo attachment and drawing failed again.

Could this have to do with the internet program "Cybersitter" that I just installed that controls internet content...? I deactivated it and still it happened.

Any other ideas? I desparately need to open these photos!
 
is the image extensions like jpeg,bmp etc..set to open with any default image viewer.

If you are not sure, you could try installing irfanview a image viewer where it associates all the image extensions with it.
