This is the exact problem as described in the original post of "Outlook
Express Unstable" 10/29/07 . Why have two posts if the problem is exactly
as described in the original post. The information I got about KB929123 was
from a Microsoft forum. I don't see it in the my add programs of the
control panel and I don't know if removing the update will correct the
problem. But it is not just my problem I have gotten feedback from a number
of customers who just started having the same problem and that is why I
suspect an update. All the users so far are using XP and have single core
hardware.
Instead of starting a new post I would rather just follow the original
thread and if or when they find the solution to that post I will try it on
my system. If Microsoft is unable to resolve the problem I guess I will
have to use another email client, but I am willing to wait and see if they
can find the problem and resolve it.

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?
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.
