has anyone ever figured out a fix for OE6 freezing when trying to insert
picture into the message body? i have been reading all the posts but they
are kind of old.

i have a new Dell xps400. i click on insert pic either on the icon or in
the upper menu. takes me to browser window and is grayed out. at this point
it freezes, and i cannot cancel or close on the X. have to ctrl,alt, delete
to get out of it.

i have tried all the suggestions in many of the posts including making sure
my HTML is checked, Send Pic with Messages is checked. i created a new
identity.

i did have slight progress on one suggestion of disabling Startup items. i
did this and clicked apply, then exit without restart. i could then insert
pictures with no problem. however, when restarting or rebooting, it goes
back to the way it was, the problem persists. so i believe it is in the
Startup section, a conflict somewhere.
i am stuck. don't know what to do at this point.

seems to be a common problem. hopefully someone out there has the solution.

thanks.
