this may work - i had a client today who had that problem in IE. IE and
outlook express, i think, are tied together.
go to start/run and type in %temp% and hit enter.
type ctrl a and shift del to delete everything you can. this, btw, is
standard maintenance and should be done on a regular basis.
now go to IE, and go to tools / internet options and select delete
then select delete all, and yes, delete everything. close ie, then go to
start, run, and type in cmd
you'll get a black "dos" box. type chkdsk /f and hit enter.
type y and enter (again, standard maintenance sort of stuff)
as an extra, go to start, programs, accessories, system tools, and disk
cleanup. it will run for a bit, and show you some check boxes.
check all except for the microsoft office setup files.
then i think you hit ok, and it will run for a bit, then just disappear.
that means its done
reboot, and see if that helps.
except for the IE delete, this is pretty standard maintenance stuff, and
should be done on a regular basis (monthly). i usually charge to do this
<grin>
