General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I am using XP Pro with Service Pack 2 installed. After a recent automatic
security up date I lost both IE 6 and OLE 6. I followed Microsoft's
reinstall guidelines and all came back until I downloaded the security
update for OLE
6. Than I got the error Msoe.dll could not load. and OLE 6 would not open

I have uninstalled and reinstall 3 times and each time OLE 6 works until I
try to run the security update patch for it. Than I get that same error.

I have even tried to reload the Service Pack XP2 and get the Same results.
As of now everything is working and I have auto update turned off but
windows is giving me a security alert because I have not updated OLE 6
