Outlook express and blank emails problems

I just got a new laptop and have been using OE6 forever.

My new PC has a problem with OE6. It downloads all headers OK but when
I try to view any emails, they're always blank, and have attachments
like ATTXXXXXX.htm and ATXXXXXX.txt. I tried a regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
and that didn't help. I tried deleting my temporary internet files in
IE, and that didn't help. I have view/encoding set to Western European
(ISO). I have "Read all messages in plain text" not checked in OE6. I
checked for and removed any spyware I had. I even uninstalled my
antivirus software temporarily. I also followed
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351. If I double click an e-mail
to open it, and hold the mouse over where the text should show, I just
get a pointer/hourglass combo. If I try to send an e-mail, I can't
click in the body text area to type anything.

If I log out of my PC and log back in as "Administrator" it works fine.
I AM, however a local administrator on my PC (and a domain admin for
that matter).

Nothing is working. Is there anything else I can try to resolve this?
