103236 2002-12-04 04:21:00 I am running Windows XP and Outlook Express 6.
Everything used to work just fine.
Now Outlook Express will freeze whenever I click on a link within an email message - say like a TradeMe notification. Nothing opens and Outlook Express freezes, when I go Ctrl Alt + del, Outlook Express indicates that it is running - sort of thought it should report not responding!! I need to indicate End Task and restart Outlook Express.
Any idea about what is happening here?

103237 2002-12-04 05:36:00 I don't know whether this will help as it is for email links not working and doesn't mention freezing Outlook express, but it may be worth a shot ....

"When you click on a link in Outlook Express either nothing happens, or when you open a link in a new window all you get is a blank page. The solution is fairly painless, all you need to do is re-register the URL monitor. Click on Start | Run and enter: "REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL" (without the quotes). You should then have a dialog tell you that the procedure was completed. Next, fire up Internet Explorer and Click Tools | Internet Options | Programs | then click the "Reset Web Settings" button. Now, check to see if Web links work like they should in your e-mail client

I went through what you suggested but it hasn't helped.
Its odd because clicking on a link in Internet Explorer works fine. Outlook Express still freezes up
