Can't insert picture into HTML email in OE6

Hi,

Attempting to insert a picure into a new HTML email causes OE6 to freeze. I click on the insert picture icon, the browse box pops up, I click on the browse button and a box pops up for me to choose the picture file I want to insert, but at that point OE 6 stops responding. The only option is to click on CtrlAltDelete to bring up Windows Task Manager to force OE6 to close.

I read in a web page somewhere, after doing a Google search, that compacting files may help solve the problem of OE6 freezing when attempting to insert a picture, but I have a problem there too. I click on FileWork Offline and then FileFolderCompact All Folders but every time I try this, and just before the compacting procedure is complete, a box pops up telling me "The folder is being used by Outlook Express or by another application." Clicking on either the OK or Cancel button gets rid of the box and I can continue using OE6.

Can anyone help?

Try going to File | Identities and set up a new Identity and see if you have
the same problem.
