Hello Jonathan,
I already installed version 5.0.0.482 but it made no
difference. I also installed the latest version of
DirectX (recommended on a different newsgroup) again with
no success. This also seems to be affecting outlook
express now as I suddenly can't send or receive e-mails
or access newsgroups any more.
Any other ideas of how to fix this? It's getting a real
pain now!
Geoff
