What is the version number of Outlook Express as shown in the Help/About
screen for the program? Do you have any other program running in the
background that could be making a call to the mail program? Do you have a
fax program installed? Is Outlook (in MS Office) also installed?

Do you have your antivirus program set to scan incoming/and or outgoing
mail? Try shutting down the antivirus program completely and see if that
fixes the problem even though you say removing email scanning has not
helped.

Last, when you updated to SP2, was an antivirus program running in the
background? If so, your install may be corrupted.
