Default Outlook Express Delete Problem

I can't delete two recently received email messages (from same computer).
Computer freezes and have to reboot. Ran sfc /scannow, no improvement. Have
been getting Stop Error on blue screen several times since these emails
arrived.

..dbx files are NOT read-only checked. Haven't gotten into regedit yet and
would rather not. AVG did locate 4 trojans "TIBS4" which were supposedly
"healed". Got 10% free space on my 10 Gb hd. Annoying situation, what
suggestions? And thanks!

Default Outlook Express Delete Problem

Hello,

Inbox.dbx may be corrupt - transfer your messages in inbox to another folder
as the next step will reset your Inbox.

Go to your message store folder (Tools Options Maintenance Store
Folder).

Close Outlook Express and delete Inbox.dbx in the Store folder. Restart
Outlook Express and Inbox.dbx should be recreated automatically.

Go to View | Layout and disable the Preview Pane. Then highlight the
messages in the message list window without opening them and do a
Shift-Delete to get rid of them.

If you cannot delete any messages, then you need to delete the deleted
items.dbx file (hidden) with OE closed and it will make a new one.
