Re: OE problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

1. OE6-specific newsgroup: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

2. Try cleaning up your newsgroups (http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#cleannews) and then compacting all folders.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I don't see a forum for OE so I hope IE guys can help me.

OK.  My problems.  The line above is because it often (but not always)
cuts
off the first 3 words of a post.  Can't find out why.  Anyone??

I have mine set up with the list of subjects on top and the "From:  To:
and
Subject" window on the bottom half.  Always have and assume it is standard
with most folks.  When I reply to a post, it used to just send and return
me
to the post I was replying to.  Now it erases the top window except for
the
little squares showing where the subjects WERE.  It hangs up there until I
click a different folder (newsgroup) and then go back to my original one
(like yours) and it will list normally again except it starts at the top
again and I have to scroll down to the post I was replying to.  What has
changed?  I have run 6 different virus finders and none of them find
anything.  I just checked and I have all the MS updates.

This is a hard thing to explain and maybe I failed but feel free to ask me
for any clarification you need and I'll try.  One friend wants me to try
Firefox but I have used MS since there was a MS and want to continue but
this is driving me nuts.
