OH OH!! The same thing has happened on the 2nd
computer here. They only share the router gateway
to the Internet. Other than that, they are two inde-
pendent desktop machines.

Both machines have AVG Internet Security without
the e-mail scanning plug-in installed.

The only updates taking place on these two machines
are the regular updates from MS and those from AVG.

See the rest of the thread for the actions taken on the
1st machine that experienced this problem.

Just within the past week or so, OE freezes
following the morning's boot "if" I click on
"Send/Recv". Other functions "Newsgroups",
folder and message views function normally,
but as soon as I click on "Send/Recv" OE
"hour-glasses" and I have to cancel with the
Task Manager.

There are no error messages nor do I get the
opportunity to log the condition with MS.

The problem clears up if I re-boot the
machine.

I've been using OE for at least 10 years or
more without any difficulties. I don't see
anything in recent MS updates pertaining to
OE, so I can't tell if any recent MS updates
are to blame or not.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bill
