When I open outlook express, my mail down loads. I then try to open the
message, and nothing happens. The hourglass comes up. Nothing else happens. The task manager says outlook is not responding. I end the task and try again. Nothing works again. I cannot send emails also. I tried to uninstall internet explorer and outlook express and reinstall via the control panel. That also did not work. Any suggestions. |

I tried to uninstall internet explorer and outlook express and reinstall via the control panel. That also did not work. Any suggestions. From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/blnkmess.htm Several possible causes and therefore several possible fixes: 1. Go to Start | Run and type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll and press Enter If this doesn't work carry out step 6 and then repeat this step. 2. Go to Tools | Options | Read | Fonts and set Western (ISO) as the default. 3. Clear Temporary Internet Files and the Temp folder. 4. Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. 5. Someone else reported that re-installing OE using the last method in this article fixed the problem: How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378 Method 2 works on earlier versions of Windows. 6.

Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

None of this has worked. I did not re-install xp though. I do not feel
comfortable doing this. Mail works with outlook, so I will start using this. Question, can outlook read the outlook dbx files that already have been downloaded?

Question, can outlook read the outlook dbx files that already have been downloaded? If Outlook is installed then OE can export to Outlook (File | Export). I don't know whether Outlook can import from OE. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, OE/WM Please reply in newsgroup. |
