Outlook Express 6 Slide Show Operation

I thought it was going to be great to upgrade from OE 5.5 to OE 6. Man what a pain in the rear!!! Have got most of the problems worked out except one. How in the @#$%^&* do you get the Slide Show for graphics to work??? It worked perfectly on OE 5.5 and I assumed that all settings would remain the same with the upgrade. Yeah, I know about the "ass-u-me" thing, ha ha. Is there some secret that I must pay for or what, ha ha? If anyone can help me with the settings to get the OE 6 Slide Show to work it would be greatly appreciated. I do get an error msg once in a while about Java Script Error. It also asks me if I want to continue to run scripts on that page: yes or no? I always select "yes" and continue with viewing my email and whatever graphics I can get. Thank you to all who can help with this problem in advance.

It works OK in my IE6.0 (C:\My Documents\My Pictures\Slideshow), I have been using IE 6.0 since the 2 public release Beta's with no real problems (except for a glitch in Outlook Express).

ah that makes sense, it must be the java virtual machine. I know you can download it from Microsoft's site. If not, please let me know too. I'm trying to correct that problem for someone.
