I'm running XP, Norton 360 and the latest version of Ghost. When in outlook express and I open an attachment that requires the use of internet explorer it works fine. When I go to close that window in internet explore it won't close. Eventually, using the "close" feature on the tool bar it closes but not without Mircrosoft reponding with a "this program is not responding do you want to end it now". I end it and an error report goes to MS. Yesterday, using MS help and support I reset all the defaults in internet explorer. That seem to help. Now a new problem has developed. If I'm in Outlook express and I attempt to send an email or do a spell check I get a request to insert the MS premium picture it nine disc. It goes into a loop if I try and cancel. If I go through the lop 4 or 5 times it finally says "do you want to sent the email anyway?" I say yes, the problem resolves itself and email gets sent. This is weird? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi oldjeeps.

Did you just install any new software or make any system changes that may have resulted in breaking OE ?

If you have, try uinstalling the app or undoing the changes to see if that fixes the problem.

If this doesn't work you can try the following:

-) Use System Restore to revert back to a a date previous to haveing the problem.

-) Uninstall and then reinstall OE:
Backup you OE mail files and write down your login name and password.

To uninstall:
Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
On the left margin of the window click the button Add/Remove Windows Components
Uncheck Outlook Express > Click the Next button
Follow any remaining instructions.

To Reinstall:
Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components
Check checkbox Outlook Express > Click Next...

Restore your OE files and settings. Test OE's operation.
