What does `DirectDNBNotifyWndProc' mean when my computer freezes
whilst I'm using Outlook Express 5 and can I rectify this glitch?.
Thanks.

Hi smial1966, 
 
This is an internal run time error while using one of your mail
folders. I recommend you to update the Internet Explorer 6.0, this
will also update your Outlook Express to 6.0. There is no ther way to
re-install or un-install outlook express while retaining the old
settings.
 
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1--
Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is the most recent version of
the Internet Explorer 6 core technologies in Windows XP Home Edition
and Windows XP Professional. Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
provides a reliable and flexible browsing experience and the freedom
to experience the best of the Internet for users of Windows XP,
Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), Windows 2000, Windows 98, and
Windows NTŪ 4.0 Service Pack 6a. Total download size for a typical
installation is approximately 25 megabytes (MB). However, because
setup downloads only those files that are necessary for your computer,
this size can vary between 11 and 75 MB.
