Hi,

Upgrade you IE to 6.0 with SP1, that will resolve the problem of yours.

Cheers!!!

I'm afraid that this solution did not work.

I have since downloaded and installed all necessary critical updates
and a few others as well, and the preoblem still persists.

Hope for an alternative solution ASAP.

HI
Just take the back of all your mail. This problem can solved by just
format your system and try to install the latest version of window if
possible install XP.That might really solved your problem.

Let me know if it work or not.

Thanks

Suggestion #1: Uninstall Norton and see what happens.
Suggestion #2: Try Thunderbird from Mozilla.org it is an excellent
free replacement for Outlook Express.  I started playing with
Thunderbird a few weeks ago. I personally like it much better then
Outlook Express and have decided that it will be my main email client.
 One of the things that caught my attension was that it is designed
not to allow harmful code to be executed from an email.  It is also an
open source project.  As a side note which you will probably not care
about ... it has excellent IMAP support which is an alternate email
protocol.  I also am in the process of converting all my email
accounts over to a dedicated email service called Fastmail, it is
located at http://fastmail.fm

1. Try to compact all the folders in Outlook express and empty and
compact the trash folder
2. If the folders are about 600MB, or more, it can make Outlook
Express crashes for memory problems.

What SO do you use?

there is a chance the following dll is damaged : Ociw32.dll 
locate the dll , rename it to for example Ociw32.old and download
it from here
