How long has it been since you compacted your message store folder? How
large are the individual DBX files in your message store folder? It sounds
like a problem with a message store folder that is corrupted.

You say you've confirmed various suggestions from web sites but give us no
clue as to what you may have done. Want to provide some added info so that
we can perhaps be of more help?

Jim I am not sure whay you mean by the Message Store, I do compact the
folders each week. As for checking I have been into the outlook express site
and verified the downloads have been carried out. Also one other suggestion
from the Microsoft page was make sure you have XP installed with SP2, plus
all updates this has been done.

If the error was with inetcomm.dll as you indicated in your reply to Mike,
see this info:

First, try this:
Go to start/Run, and type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll and wait for a notification
of completion. Then reboot and see if it's fixed.

If no help, then try replacing inetcomm.dll as it may be corrupted:

Try a rename of the existing inetcomm.dll to inetcomm.old and then extract a
new copy from the mailnews.cab in your c:\windows update setup files folder.

Extract the copy to your c:\windows\system folder. After that go to
Start/Run ~ type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll and wait for message of completion.
Then reboot and see if the problem is fixed.

HI Jim,
Followed your instructions dialog box as follows
"DllRegister Server in inetcomm succeeded". I assume that means the file is
okay.

Yes, the re-registration was successful, but if you continue to have similar
problems, it's possible that the copy you are using may be corrupted.
That's why I also suggested you might want to extract a clean copy to
replace it.

Jim
As I mentioned in my last memo the first part of you email worked ok. I am
having trouble with the second part. I am getting down to the limit of my
computer knowledge. Where do I change the inetcomm.old also I cannot find the
c:\windows\update setup files folder. or the mailnews.cab. I am afraid I need
a little more detailed help.

If all is working with the re-registration of inetcomm.dll as you indicated
it was, do nothing more at this time.

If at some future date, you need to rename inetcomm.dll, do a Search for it
and rename it when found. Then from the Start/Run line, run MSCONFIG and
use its "Expand File" button to extract a new copy of inetcomm.dll - but for
now, don't do anything.

It's important to know the Details. When you get an "Illegal Operation"
or "encountered a problem" message, there is usually a Details button
(In WinME press Alt/D), or a "click here" link to see the error report.
When you click on the button/link, it will give a message like: XXXX
caused an error in YYYY and a bunch of register nonsense or it will list
the Appname XXXX and Modname YYYY. The XXXX and YYYY are important to
identify the cause and solution. You can ignore the rest of the
message.

Also include what specifically you were doing when the error occurred.

You mention is happens when "accessing email messages". Does that mean
as they download, or when you try to view them? In the latter case,
does it happen in all mail folders or only some? Does it happen to all
messages or only some?

Michael, The info you asked about in the dialog box.
App Name--msimn.exe. Ver 6.0 2800 1106.
Mod name--inetcomm.dll. Ver 6.0 2900 2670.
It happens mostly when I am trying to view them. I most cases it is when
there is a picture of some kind in the message. The last time it happened I
had my wife send me an email with a picture, it came through okay
