| 186820 | 2003-10-26 17:54:00 | ONE: When I click on a link, particularly in e-mail, all it does is opens a web page with a blank address bar. I can right click the link and select copy address and it works fine. BUT if I click a link in "favorites" it opens right away. This is something that happened over the past few days. I don't recall doing anything that might have caused it. TWO: How do I open a DBX file? I notice I have several very large files with this extension, though the files from the named source are empty. Do these files store all e-mails etc. that I have deleted? If they can't be opened can I delete the lot of them? If I can't open them what purpose do they serve? Jack |

| 186822 | 2003-10-26 20:29:00 | Hi Jack :-) ONE: Have a look here ( . microsoft . com/default . aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q281679" target="_blank">support . microsoft . com) and see if their suggestions fixes it . TWO: DBX files are your Outlook Express folders . If you delete them OE should recreate them but you will lose the contents within . If the DBX files are rather large even though your OE folders are empty this probably means that they need compacting because OE does not permanently delete "deleted" emails from DBX files until compacted (quite handy sometimes, if you have accidentally deleted some emails) . To compact your folders, open OE, ensure that it is put into Offline mode (File>Work Offline), go to File>Folder>Compact all Folders, return to Online mode and then you are done . :-) |

| 186824 | 2003-10-26 21:07:00 | Thanks both of you. 1: Looks like msjave.dll is missing. This may be my fault as I have Sun Java installed. Will have to look into it. 2: I have installed "Mail Navigator" and that allows me to read the DBX files. Jack |
