Help! Whenever I open an old Indesign file, the photos only display as grey boxes. I am viewing in high quality and the pictures are all linked. How do I overcome this new problem?

Choose IDML
Open the IDML in InDesign
Save the file as a new InDesign file with a new name
See if the issue persists.

Like @jmlevy, I suspect it is the display settings. The high-quality command actually lives in three different places. Which one did you check? It's possible to have Prefs and View menu set to high-quality, but the individual files set to fast display.
@jmlevy is showing this in his French version—select the images and either right click > Display Performance > High Quality or Object menu > Display Performance > High Quality (the menu he is using is cropped off in his screen shot).
