| | open a new message for another 2 minutes or more. After which, a

| | "Outlook Express encountered an unexpected problem while displaying
| | this message. Check
| | your Computer for Low Memory or Low Disk Space". I have plenty of
| | both. Once either of these two messages are displayed, I can again
| | access/open new message bodies as before. If anyone else has
| | noticed this behavior with their Computers, while in the
| | newsgroups, please add a note to this thread saying
| | so. Info: Although I cannot open any new messages, previously read
| | message bodies can still be opened. Thanks to all.

| No, it's you. As Mr. Hagen has suggested, this sort of problem is
| most often caused by McAfee or Norton security software. If you have
| security programs installed from either company, it is recommended
| that you uninstall them and use something better. I recommend NOD32,
| Kaspersky, or Avast if you want a free one. The Windows Firewall is
| adequate for most people.
|
| If you don't have McAfee or Norton products installed, try turning
| off email scanning in your antivirus program. This email scanning
| doesn't provide any extra protection and very often causes time-out
| problems.
