Are you using IE File | Send | Link by e-mail to do this?

Does the behavior persist if OE isn't open at the time?

Does the behavior persist if you're browsing in IE 64-bit with OE open or
not open?

Hi Group,

I have like many other people need to send links of web pages to other
people.

When I try to do this I get the following;
" A program is attempting to start Outlook Express, but cannot do so while
the current version of the program is running.
Close OE and try again."

This is so frustrating as it then closes the web page I am trying to link,
and I have to start all over again.

I am running XP pro3 64bit, but am browing in 32bit and OE6

Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to give a sensible reply

David.
