Errors in Outlook Express
I am having troubles with dropped BB connections. Alongside this I am
seeing a lot of 'not responding messages in IE/OE. I notice there are a lot of sites offering to fix 'errors in Outlook Express'. Anyone know if there could be a connection. ( ISP cannot apparently help.)

Errors in Outlook Express
You would need to be more specific as to the types of error and the specific
error messages. It may be a server side issue also. steve "Lofty." wrote in message ... I am having troubles with dropped BB connections.

There is nothing in OE that would prevent you from running HijackThis. You have more serious problems than OE. As far as those sites Bruce mentioned, I wouldn't trust any of them and if you ran one of their programs that might be the source of your problems. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail.
