1150847 2010-11-07 01:37:00 Hey guys.
I've got an email, in my Inbox, that when I try to delete it system locks up. Hard drive chundering away, system clock stops, mouse freezes. Even Ctrl/Alt/Delete don't work. :badpc:The only thing I can do, which I hate, :mad: is push the power button and do a cold start. I even went into Safe Mode and same thing, lock up. I know where it come from and have read it, but can't do nothing with it now. So can you please :help: Thanks, Ian.

I've been using this program, for years and very handy, but I'm trying to delete, within Outlook Express.

I think also, there is a size limit (2gb I think) on total data storage within OE.

Done all that. Only had a problem registering two DLL's. Load Library regsvr32 mshtml.dll & also regsvr32 msjava.dll Failed. The specified module could not be found.

1150852 2010-11-07 02:26:00 The inbox may be corrupted. Close OE
Do a search Start/Search/ files and folders for inbox.dbx
When you find it right click on it and delete it.

Restart OE and a new Inbox will be created which will be empty.
Note all messages currently in your Inbox will be deleted so move any you want to another folder before deleting the inbox.dbx

Well done. I move my other emails, closed OE and restated, move my other emails back and all's good.

Thank you, Safari.:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap
