My computer recently updated its self over night (some security update for
windows), and rebooted its self. When I tried to open Outlook Express after
the update, it wouldn't open. I would click on the shortcut in the main part
of the start menu, but it would just show an hourglass with the mouse curser
for a few seconds and that would be it. no program opened. Can anyone tell
me what's going on?.......or at least point me to where I can find out. I
would really like to be able to get this up and running again.


Try system restore back to before the updates, check to make sure OE
works and, this time download and install the updates from the Windows
Update web site and disable your anti virus so it doesn't interfere with
the updates' installation. Personally, if IE7 is there, I wouldn't
download it as it needs a whole lot more preparation for a successful
install than just disabling your anti virus.
