"send page" and "send link" stop working in explorer and outlook 2003

[poopy sanchez tomato]

I have microsoft windows xp home, explorer 6 and outlook 2003.

I have noticed that I have the quite common problem of "send page" and "send
link" not working. The first time after a reboot this works. However the
second time i do it, I get a pop up saying "micrsoft office outlook
operation failed". This is because there is a zombie outlook process
outlook.exe hanging around from the first time i did "send link". Until I
manually kill the zombie outlook process in task manager, send link and send
page do not work.

Yes, my program defaults are right. Yes I have my email accoutns sent to
send and receive only when I am online. There should be no reason for the
killer outlook zombie.

How do I sop it? How do i do "send link" more than once? Does anyone at
microsoft actually use the internet?

you could leave outlook open, since it doesn't actually send messages if it's
not open... short of that, do you have a pda sync program or other addin that
uses outlook's data?

no, no pda program installed or running. Leaving outlook open does not
improve the behaviour - the zombie still gets created after the first send
page/link command. It is something about explorer that makes outlook
zombies.

This was related to the spambayes plugin - I will ask the spambayes group.

make sure in IE tools/options/programs, your mail program is set right.
after that goto start/run, type in "fixmapi.exe" (without quotes) se
if that works.... sounds like a mapi problem... can you go t
word/excel/ppt, and do a file/send to

SinTe

Just tried that SinTex, no luck Sorry.

Doing the second send in word/excel has the same symptom
