Cannot view message contents

I have a strange problem with OE6 that just cropped up
this morning. When I click on a message in the message
list, nothing is displayed in the preview pane. Even
when I double click on a message, the window that opens
up displays nothing. When I ctrl-F3 the messages, I can
see that all of the headers are present and that the
messages indeed have content. I have tried the following
to no avail:

* turned off "Read all messages in plain text" option
* emptied Deleted Items folder and compacted messages
* deleted the folders.dbx file
* moved all of my .dbx files to a different location

Any other ideas how to solve this problem?

TIA

Go to: StartRunType in: regsvr32 inetcomm.dll - Press: Enter.

If the problem re-occurs, do the fix again and download and run
CWShredder.

Always check for updates before running.

Thanks for the info, Bruce. I'm a leery though of doing
wizard-type stuff without knowing what the problem is and
why I'm doing what I'm doing. Can you shed some light
for me on what is causing this problem and what exactly
your suggestion does? It sounds like you suspect CWS
spyware may be involved?

Also, could you clariy your statement "always check for
updates before running"...do you mean check for updates
of OE before running CWShredder? Thanks again.

This has become a common problem caused presumably by Malware. There
is nothing wizard-like about the fix. Just type it in, or copy/paste,
and click OK. You want to have OE closed when you do this and if it
doesn't show messages right away, reboot first. The problem doesn't
re-occur for most, but if it does, then run CWShredder after doing
the fix again. That normally cures it. It is a good idea to have and
run these programs occasionally also:

AdAwa
http://www.lavasoft.de/

SpyBot S & D:
http://beam.to/spybotsd

Checking for updates refers to the programs mentioned, not OE.

I don't know exactly how this fix works other than it has fixed the
problem for a lot of people.

OK, I have now tried all of the following:

1) Ran "regsvr32 inetcomm.dll", received alert stating
registration was successful. Launched OE, same problem.
2) Rebooted system, launched OE, same problem.
3) Rebooted system in safe mode, launched OE, same
problem. Ran registry checker and disk checker, ran
regsvr32 again, launched OE, same problem.
4) Rebooted again, ran CWShredder, reports the system is
clean. Launched OE, same problem.

The crazy thing is OE was working perfectly fine last
night, and nothing has changed on my system since then
(as far as I know).

Any other suggestions before I try a complete reinstall
of OE?

You do see the message headers, To, From, Subject etc, correct? Is
there a frozen hourglass next to the cursor?

Try these other possible fixes:

In OE: Go to ToolsOptionsReadFonts: Change the default encoding
setting to Western European (ISO). And in IE: Delete the Temporary
Internet Files, including all offline content.

If still no joy:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q318378
Method 2 works for all operating systems except Windows 95.
