Outlook Express 6

Since downloading the security update for Internet Explorer 7 on December 21,
2008 I can no longer view messages in Outlook Express. The programme opens,
the list messages displays correctly, and new messages download. But I can
not view the contents of any messages, either in the preview pane or when
clicking on them.

Can anyone solve this problem?

If you haven't already done it, shutdown and restart Windows. This
sometimes fixes the problem.
- If you still have a problem then try Start, Run and enter:
regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
- If that doesn't help, then see if the fix in this article applies:
OLEXP: Message Appears Blank and Has an ATT000XX.txt or ATT000XX.htm
Attachment
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351
- If that doesn't help, then in Internet Explorer, select View,
Encoding and uncheck Auto-Select and choose instead "Western European
(ISO)". Then try reading your messages.
- If the problem is only with HTML messages, and you have OE6 with
SP1+, go to Tools, Options, Read and uncheck Read All Messages in Plain
Text. For a quick workaround for the current message, press ALT+Shift+H

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) when posting to
this newsgroup.

What "security update(s) for Internet Explorer 7" did you install on 21
Dec-08 (e.g., KB960714; KB958215)?

(You can find out by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and
clicking on the Update History link in left pane.)
