Default Newsgroup ... Combine & Decode ...

Good Day ...

This is a follow-up to my earlier posts relating to the fact that I can not
'combine & decode' binaries in Outlook Express since I have updated to IE7.

On my 'mirror' machine ... everything identical to the machine that is
having the 'combine & decode' problem except mirror does not have IE7,
still on the latest patch release of IE6 ... I chose a newsgroup, copied all
files to a temp folder in my Local Folders area. The file had 98 rar files
plus PAR files. When combining and decoding, I selected a group of 8 rar
files at a time, combined and decoded, and then saved to 'decoded' temp area
on my hard drive. All went very well, and very fast. Total size = 1.6gb;
test was a success.

On my 'problem' machine, I tried the same test. Not able to complete a
group of rar files ... Outlook Express started searching for ' hyperlinks'
and became non-responsive; test failed.

Test results:

Failu machine with Outlook Express and IE7
Success: machine with Outlook Express and IE6

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time, consideration, and help.
Take care.
