Hello Carol, Glad you joined us here, in our quest to get OE working the way it
was(if at all,possible).
Are you the one that's been posting at http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=29224 ?
If so, I was the same way, as far as hoping to find a solution, before having to post
anywhere, in attempts to fix the annoyance that's been plaguing us since the
beginning of Sept. I put up with this for about a week or so, before posting to the
NGs.
I love checking this place for solutions for other's problems, as well as some "How
To" tips & tricks, but this was my 1st post, seeking help myself.
I feel very confident in Robear's abilities to find a solution to this repeated
occurrence, & he too, is having the same problem .
As he said:

Stay tuned to this station.

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.
