And your Windows version is...?
The advice in the first part of
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/problems/performance.htm#slowstart) is /only/
for Win98. The later part about Messenger applies to all Windows versions:
Did you try it?
Post the complete error, verbatim, you get when trying to download IE6-SP1
and tell us from where you are downloading it. The download of IE6-SP1 does
/not/ contain updates and patches, which can only be obtained via Windows
Update (as can, indeed, IE6-SP1).
All of the above aside, your current Identity may be damaged, especially if
its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new
Named Identity (File>Identities>Add new identity). Assuming all is well,
import messages from the old Identity before deleting it
(File>Identities>Manage Identities).
Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
Disable Background Compacting and frequently perform a manual compact of all
OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.
Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I followed the advice from Tomsterdam.com to edit: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \CLSID\{FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541} and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541}\LocalServer32 . So now Ouylook opens normally, but it doesn't get any mail .I know this because I've been sending test mail to myself from various locations. Plus I setup O.E. on another comp and I recieved all my messages. I know all the settings are correct in O.E. on my computer. I tried following advice from this site and others such as running "sfc /scannow" (which didn't help). So I went to the registry and changed the installed value for I.E. and O.E., then went to Microsoft and downloaded the IE 6 install file. When I run the installer it logs on to Microsoft update and begins downloading a new install of IE6 but stops and tells me that the file is not Microsoft certified and that the installation will stop. That's where I'm stuck, everytime I reboot the installer starts and wants to finish and then stops because the files aren't certified, right from the Microsoft site!!!! Any idea why the files insist they aren't certified? And any ideas on what to do now besides dump the drive and reload or move to Macintosh? Bill
