1. Since others experiencing this behavior are not running a McAfee
application and do not have email scanning enabled, I doubt McAfee has anything to do with your instance of the problem. 2. To test OE performance (i.e., to see if & when the behavior returns), you've gotta run/use OE for much more than 4 hours. I've had it up & running for 10-12 hours before the behavior returned; then again, I've seen it return 5 minutes after closing/reopening OE. -- ~PA Bear Peter wrote: The whole McAfee package: VirusScan, Firewall, SEcurity center, etc. I did use the removal tool and I did not install any other anti virus program. I ran OE for about 4 hours before reinstalling. My computer came with the program free for the first 90 days and then I purchased the subscription from McAfee. Upon removal and reinstallation, I downloaded the reinstall from McAfee each time and followed their installation directions. "PA Bear" wrote: That's not very specific, Peter. McAfee VirusScan, McAfeeVirusScan Plus, McAfee Internet Security, McAfee Security Center, or...? How long did you run OE with "McAfee" uninstalled? Did you also run the McAfee Consumer Removal Tool2 [sic]? Did you install another anti-virus application (and third-party firewall, if applicable) temporarily? If so, did you uninstall it/them before reinstalling "McAfee"? Did you purchase this McAfee application or is it a freebie provided by your ISP? -- ~PA Bear Peter wrote: McAfee "PA Bear" wrote: Welcome, fellow sufferer!

Hi Gary.. did't mean to ignore you. I hadn't seen your post until just
recently. Yes.. I am "one in the same", in regard to the referenced thread, as much as I'd like not to be. It's been an interesting and informative journery, however, I wish it was a "different" kind of journey. One less frustrating and more provocative.

Hey Carol-
Still living with this problem so I haven't even bothered posting here lately! It's hard enough, just checking other threads, & I do miss being able to do that, uninterrupted, without getting the error, & having to close/restart OE. It seems to get worse at times, or it may be times when I'm just getting into reading an interesting post.(& to think that I used to be able to spend hours here) It's really got to be a pain for someone like Robear, who might be in the middle of an involved response to someone's thread, when it happens. It's going on the third month of this "thing" & it's getting so old!(actually started the 1st week of Sept.-just didn't post on here till the next week or so) I guess that I was hoping it would "just go away". Heehee Sorry to seem to rant, Carol. Finally getting back to your response & didn't want you to think that I was ignoring you either. How are things on your end? I've been watching your thread for any further developments. ~Gary "~Carol" wrote in message ... Hi Gary.. did't mean to ignore you. I hadn't seen your post until just recently. Yes..

ATTN anyone who's monitoring this thread or seeing the same behavior: If you're running Windows Defender, please reply to this post and tell me so. Thanks. PA Bear, I have the same problem and am running Windows Defender. Put together this summary for your information: I have been experiencing a range of 'cannot display folder/message' for about two months. Have searched the web for a solution without success; this site seems to offer the most pertinent information aong with the promise that the 'fix' will be psoted here when found. My computer specs are XP Home SP2 with all updates, dual core CPU, 2 GB RAM, two 250 GB HDs, Vista/DX10 compatible video card all of which makes a mockery of the warnings I get about low disk space and memory as a likely cause of this problem. I have tried most of the suggestions mentioned on this and other web sites, new identity, compacting folders offline and reducing large folders by moving emails, etc without any success. My latest and most drastic experiment was as follows: I closed OE6, moved all the mail folders (dbx files) to another folder and re-opened OE6 which gave me a pristine set of default folders. When some mail arrived and I replied to a few messages it was not long before the 'display' problem occurred again! A friend suggested I use Thunderbird instead of Outlook Express so installed the latest version and, after some fiddling with Gmail settings, got it working but I have to say I much prefer Outlook Express and thus returned to the quest for a 'fix' to this current frustrating problem. Was using AVG-Free antivirus - email scanning disabled - now trying Avast with no change to the 'cannot display' situation. Read somewhere that lack of 'resources' is often the cause of strange behaviour with some programs so I opened Task Manager and, on the Processes tab, added columns for Handles, User Objects and GDI Objects. Not being a Windows programmer I don't know what these terms mean but I can understand numbers and when, say, the Handles used by msimn.exe rises to 55,000+ and the next highest number is 1,500 (svchost.exe) I am left wondering if just maybe this is an area worth investigating? The current Task Manager figures for my Outlook Express and Thunderbird (just for comparison) a Comparing OE6 and Thunderbird2: Mem Usage 42 MB 24MB VM Usage 16MB 15MB Handles 55,421 189 User Objects 135 61 GDI Objects 229 96 With only the default mail folders, with 22 emails in the Inbox and 1 in Drafts, restarting OE6 reduced the Handles figure to 374, User Objects to 112 and GDI objects to 172. By the way, when the "Cannot display...' message occurs now I can restore normal operation by selecting, say, the Drafts folder and then return to the Inbox where previously I would have to close and re-open OE6 or sometimes reboot the computer. Hope this is of some help and that Microsoft, or somebody somewhere resolves this problem in the near future!!!! JackR |
