What about #2, #3, #4 & #5?
Several possible causes and therefore several possible fixes:
1. Go to Start | Run and type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll and press "Enter"
2. Go to Tools | Options | Read | Fonts and set Western (ISO) as the
default.
3. Clear Temporary Internet Files and the Temp folder.
4. Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus.
5. Someone else reported that re-installing OE using method 2 in this
article fixed the problem:
