This seems to be a generic update problem. Mine started a number of days
ago. I was at a customers house this morning and she started getting the
exact problem a number of days ago. There are too many reports of this just
happening to too many people for it to be a specific a PC or configuration
problem. I am now certain that it is a Microsoft update. I wish I knew the
update KB number so I could delete it. It was reported on Microsoft's forum
that it was KB929123 but I do not have that update installed and I have the
problem.

Recently Outlook Express 6.0 has become very unstable on both computers
in our household. Out of the blue OE will not display any messages . . .
just a screen that says this message can't be displayed. Sometimes the
entire toolbar just grays out. Usually backing out of the program and
restarting it fixes the problem . . . for a while. Other times it is
necessary to reboot the computer.

I suspect that this problem showed up after an update. From looking
around I think I'm not the only one having problem.

Can anyone tell me if anything is being done to repair the problem?

Thanks,

Rick


Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled.
