186233 2003-10-24 19:12:00 Hello!
I have Windows ME and effect e-mail via Outlook Express 6.

My problem is that when I now try to open OE it hangs after the first screen (inbox) has appeared.

After a short while a Control/Alt/Del indicates it is 'not responding' and I have to End task.

Any help much appreciated.

186234 2003-10-24 20:10:00 Have you done the usual?

like make sure your anti virus prog is up to date and run something like ad-aware or Spybot looking for sneaky programs, and then run the maintenance is Safe Mode and then rebooted. I'm an amateur here but run two computers fine for two years now.

The basic maintenance on a comp is like most machines. Keep up with it and mostly things will run just fine.
(Unless you're an enthusiastic tinkerer but then that's for the fun)

186235 2003-10-24 20:22:00 Do you have AVG ? if so try shutting it down before opening Outlook Express.
When I was running ME I had a similar problem & AVG was the culprit,It came right after a couple AVG updates.

186237 2003-10-28 13:18:00 Many thanks Mark,

You were on the track - it turned out to be my AVG that was fouling things up.
All is back to good order and I feel so relaxed again.
Best Regards,
Chrispo.
