Robert,
I ran regmon, and I don't notice anything in particular that stuck out.
Could be that I'm not sure what to look for either. I went into C:\Program
Files\Outlook Express on both machines, and saw that there were newer
versions of the files in the directory of the working box. I C&Pd the files
over to the non-working box, but still no luck. I'm just so frustrated with
this.
