Hi PA Bear, Am glad to say that I havenothad the 'cannot display'
problem since Nov 8 when I reformatted and reinstalled XP Home SP2
(with all 90+ updates). I read sj...'s post that he can induce the
problem in the same manner as Icould(madly scrolling an HTML email)
before my reinstall BUT he goes further and suggests the cause may be
McAfee Site Advisor build 2.5. I think he may be on to something in
that I had IE6 with McAfee Site Advisor on my computer pre the
reinstall and now have IE7 BUT WITHOUT the McAfee SA addon whichcould
explain why I am now free of the OE6 "cannot display" problem. Sure
hope sj... is right. BTW I use Firefox, with McAfee Site Advisor, as
my default browser. JackR

QED: Did you back-up your OE data and then import it into OE after the wipe
& reload?

Have you also enabled "Read all messages in plain text" option?

Was Site Advisor installed as a component of another McAfee application
(e.g., McAfee Internet Security/Security Center), did you install the
freebie version? Was it Site Advisor Plus?

The McAfee Site Advisor I used was the 'free' download add-on/
extension for IE6. Don't know anything about the PLus version.

Hi PA Bear, Yesterday I tried to send you an update but can't see it
here so had better repeat it just in case! I was able to induce the
'cannot display' condition as follows: An incoming email with small
picture tiled vertically down left side and enough text to produce a
smallish scroll bar on the right. Using the mouse scroll wheel,
scroll
up/down madly for a while and then see if you can select another
email. I 'exited' the problem condition via End Process in Task
Manager. Repeated this several times and noted 'handles' number over
20,000 when 'cannot display' occurred.
Today I reformatted and reinstalled XP and so far OE6 hasnotput a
foot wrong. JackR

Is the machine currently fully patched at Windows Update?

Another fellow suffer did a wipe & reload, got the machine fully
patched,
and encountered the same problem shortly thereafter.

NB: This doesNOTnecessarily mean that one or more updates is the cause
of
the problem.

Just got 4 more High Priority updates, incl IE7. THere might be one
more to
come, something about KB892130 on the summary screen. That makes
about 80 updates installed yesterday and today. Have to reboot so will
do so
and then check OE6 as best I can before replying to your query.
Did my 'inducing' exercise butcouldnotget a result - can select
other folders and
emails without any 'cannot display' messges appearing. The number of
'handles' for msimn.exe remained constant at 266. JackR
