Re: waiting ....

An update:

I tried everything suggested, everything I could find in the knowledgebase
and multiple sites and couldn't find anything that fixed this. Everything
but a reinstall.

I was planning the reinstall this week- but it has all started working
again- I haven't tried any fixes for days. I haven't looked yet but I'm
(only) guessing but perhaps there has been another update from MS that has
been applied and fixed it. Items linked in both IE and OE function
correctly.
