Outlook Express

[Guest]

I went to windows update after I could not find the button for viewing
pictures after SP 2 was installed. Now I have clicked the button but now I
can not see any of the email...the hourglass just spins. Blank.

See this article. It says OE5, but applies to OE6 too.

If still no joy:

Go to: Start>Run>Type in: regsvr32 inetcomm.dll - Press: Enter.
{Note the space after 32}.

If the problem reoccurs, download CWShredder and run it after
doing the fix again.

Thanks for your time,

I tried these but still the emails roll in and I can not read them. Any
other ideas?

Two other possibilities. In OE: Tools>Options>Read>Fonts. Choose:
Western European (ISO).

If still no joy, See this to repair or reinstall IE6/OE6:

Method 2 says it's for XP, but it works for all Window operating
systems except W95.
