I've had a stable system and no problems with OE for a long while. Over the
last month, however, I've been experiencing difficulties where, sometimes in
the middle of typing, the little hourglass will come on and OE will freeze
up, sometimes for two minutes or so. I usually go to task manager and end
the program, and restart, but it's interesting watching it in task manager
while it's frozen because the memory usage column just keeps rising and
rising and rising while it's frozen, from about say 25k to over 200k.
I went to ms' web site and downloaded the explorer/outlook combo package and
reinstalled but it has made no difference.
I was running zonealarm firewall and norton antivirus, but have now updated
to norton internet 2005, which includes its own firewall. I didn't do this
because of the OE problem, but it has made no difference to it. I have run
virus scans, as well as ad scans through ad aware and spybot, but come up
clean. I have also finally gotten around to installing the XP sp2, but it
also has made no difference.
Any help would be appreciated.
