PS: This is /just/ a question, not a suggestion that Defender has anything
to do with the behavior. IOW, do NOT disable Defender.

Outlook Express encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this

Sorry-Was going to wait to send this (send later) but it disappeared from
my Outbox.
Anyway,this is what I see after I've been perusing the newsgroups a
while.
This just started occurring the last week or so & whenever it's about to
happen,the virtual memory for Outlook Express,according to Process
Explorer,is approaching 2,000,000k.
I removed some old entries that I had been saving in Drafts & compact all
folders regularly,but still no joy.
I know it can't be lack of memory since I have a gig of physical ram on
this machine(XP Home).
I'm not sure,but I think it started around the time I updated MSN
Messenger
to 8.5 & it asked during installation if I wanted it to handle my default
email ,which I thought it meant Hotmail. While installing,the download
proceeded to remove the OE icon from my desktop & replaced it with 1 for
Windows Mail. I interrupted the install when the setup wizard for mail
started & when I did,the OE icon reappeared,along with an error message
about the interruption of the setup.
I used to be able to spend hours on the newsgroups,with no problems & now
I
have to close OE & reopen it to be able to continue,till I approach the
2,000,000k mark.
Please help me with this as I have learned so much from these newsgroups
(XP General,mostly) but am quite new here in the OE group,& have not
found
anything that relates to my dilemma.
