Default IE hold ups when opened from OE or O

[No takers under IE6 group]

Experiencing hold ups and shut down hangs when IE is opened from within OE
or O.

In Outlook the result is that a version of IE remains in programmes in
Process Explorer after it has been supposedly shut down - presumably
shutting the version that opens as a service from within O leaves the other
one incompletely shut down. This is accompanied by a 'closing programme
autocomplete' message that prevents shutdown, when O has been used as the
mail handler.

When OE is used as the mail handler IE still opens as a service, rather than
the programme itself, from links in mails. The 'service IE' tends to search
for ages, or even hang over the links. However, if the programme IE itself
is opened first, they go through OK - though the service version still runs.

I have noted the mail on a similar topic below, and had a look at the
files/open with.
In our case (XP Pro) the URL file type was set to open with "Shell Doc
Object & Control Library" (?)
However, resetting this to IE still opens it as a service and it still takes
ages.

What is going on?

Cheers,

S

Default IE hold ups when opened from OE or O

Thanks Bruce,

Looks as though my virgin server must be playing up again. The message has
not appeared in OE and is not responding to 'get next headers'.

I already went through a lot of hassle when virgin's server for Usenet
seemed to be very selective about what it would accept and download. Looks
like I may have to start over again! I already have two lots of microsoft
public groups in my file tree...

Grr!

Cheers,

S

If you're having a problem with a specific group, reset it.

While in a newsgroup: View | Current View. Make sure Show All Messages and
Group Messages By Conversation are checked.

Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a time. Then, right
click on the newsgroup in the Folder Tree | Properties | Local File | Reset.
Switch to another folder and then back and all available messages will be
downloaded again.

Or go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now and choose the group,
or server at the top and then Reset.

It would be a good idea to compact your folders when you're done.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

My personal preference is to disregard synchronizing and rather have OE
check for news when it checks for mail. Tools | Accounts | News. Check: "
Include this account...........".

Checked for PA Bear's note on web [and note that I could not copy and paste
it from there...], currently running the MSRT as suggested, on full scan.

Does the regular download of this tool that runs without showing a screen,
only do basic scans?
I do regularly scan with antispyware progs and have TeaTimer and Avast
running all the time, and do all the updates as they come in from MS - bar
SP3 at the mo, but I'm working up to it...

It would be handy if this was all due to some infection and I could expect a
great improvement after routing it out, but I would have thought it would
have shown up if any of these progs are any good.

Cheers,

S

Hmm,

And my first reply to this does not seem to be appearing either...

Have they changed 'msnews.microsoft.com' to something else?

Confused,
