Re: Outlook Express 6.0

Rick,

That's another story altogether. In brief this PC has a tendency to re-boot without warning. Last Wednesday, in fact, when I did "Turn Off", it decided to re-boot instead. One day it re-booted itself three [3] times after I turned it on before it settled down.

Anyway, when I tried to install SP3 awhile back (last year), it re-booted right in the middle of the install and fried my PC. Had to take it into a repair shop, but it still does the same thing.

Which is why I'm also contemplating replacing it totally with, probably, Win7. Just wonder how many non-MS things will fall over because there are missing DLL's or such (I had that happen when I went to XP). I'm thinking about having the current C: drive installed as a D: drive on the new one. But it's more a matter of time than money getting it done. Been on my To Do list since January.

Jerry,

Not directly related to your issue but may affect you.

While trouble shooting my own PC issues recently and re-installing XP I noticed that the MS support sites all have a message at the top telling me that I needed to be at XP XP3 to continue to receive updates (I was using a vista machine). You might want to consider upgrading to SP3 on the home PC to keep 'current' with the MS update process.
