Problem with Outlook Express after downloading OE7
Downloaded IE7. I have XP with service pack 3. When I click on the OE
shortcut icon, the system locks up when the (blue) window with Outlook Express 6 appears. I have to reboot the computer. I can otherwise access the internet OK, and use the system normally, that is until I try to access OE. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated. Dave G. |

Problem with Outlook Express after downloading OE7
You downloaded SP3 while you had IE6 and then upgraded to IE7. Is this
correct? You may have a bad install of either / or especially if your anti-virus was running during the install process of either program. Read the following regarding IE7 and SP3. I believe your best option would be to remove both programs and then install IE7 first. Make sure it is working OK and then install SP3.
