dadiOH spewed forth: THE PROBLEM When my wife tries to access OE the splash loads but nothing else. Task manager shows msimn.exe is using 100% (or close to it) of CPU. THE MACHINE CPU - Athlon OS - XP SP3 IE - 6.00.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-2111) OE - 6.00.2900.5512 (xpsp.080413-2105) WHAT I'VE TRIED 1. I restored a recent image from when I *thought* OE was OK. No help 2. I restored an older image from when I *know* OE was OK. No help 3. I moved all dbx files from the store. No help 4. Checked machine for malware...couple of tracking cookies, nothing else. Removed cookies. No help 5. I deleted msimn.exe from the Outlook Express folder so the system would replace it from dllcache. No help 6. I deleted *all* files from the Outlook Express folder so the system would replace them from dllcache. No help 7. Tried an over the top install of XP but it faulted out, don't recall the specific reason. WHERE NOW? Danged if I know. Other than wipe the partition and reinstall XP which I really don't want to do as her work place has installed stuff which would be a nuisance to get back. I could install a different mail client but she is used to OE and has limited computer skills (limited = almost none). Besides, I hate to be thwarted and would like to find the problem and the fix. The thing that really puzzles me is why the problem persists after restoring a known good image. Any and all suggestions welcomed. You did end the msimn.exe in the processes, right? If not, end it and try restarting. I've had OE and Firefox do exactly what you're talking about and like you, looked in processes and both were already running, ended them and all was okay Otherwise, I dunno |

"Uninstalling" OE just dumps shortuts. I did manually dump the whole OE folder so the system would stick it back from the dllcache - which it did - but the problem persists. It *can* be reinstalled via the IE6 set up exe - which I have archived - but it involves nerfing the registry so XP thinks it isn't installed. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
