XP update and Outlook Express 6

[Alanrco]

Hope one of you gurus can help. Been searching online for hours with no
success.

Problem:
2 days ago there was an automatic update for XP on my computer. Since then I
cannot get any message displayed in the message box of Outlook Express 6. It
remains blank and the pointer in that section is a permanent hourglass. This
is also the case with newsgroup messages and neither can I type a new
mail/news in the email/newsgroup message box.

Although I'm posting this in my second computer there are previously saved
messages that have reference information that I occasionally need.

very frustrating!

0. BACK UP your OE 6 store folder now!! BACK UP IT NOW!

1. Could you un-install that update and see if it could fix it?

2. You might want to upgrade to Window$ Live Mail after disabling OE 6.

Have you yet rebooted the problematic computer?

If a reboot doesn't complete the installation of the updates, have you
tried using System Restore to just before those updates occurred?
