I use OL 03 on XP Pro (SP2) and have 2 problems which I think may be
related. First, occassionally OL freezes when trying to send emails.
Second, when I tell XP to restart, it says ThorConnWndClass is still running
and asks me if I want to end it. Can anyone tell me why this is and how to
fix it? Thanks.

It may be a spyware program. I suggest that you downloac,
install, update and scan with Ad-aware:

I use Ad-aware regularly and have recently upgraded to Version SE in the
last week or so. I just ran it again and it found 7 cookies, but nothing
that looks like this (ThorConnWndClass). Thanks.

ThorConnWndClass is an entry point in a DLL (inetcomm.dll) shared by Outlook
with Outlook Express. Googling this newsgroup shows many threads about this
entry point. Some suggest reinstalling Outlook Express. Some suggest a bad
message on the POP server can cause this, and several reported that deleting
a bad message fixed the problem. Some suggest a change in the underlying
TCP/IP stack (winsock.dll) can be the problem. Some suggest creating a new
mail profile and re-adding your accounts to it may help. One suggests
uninstalling the Speech and Handwriting Recognition feature of Office. A
few mention IMAP accounts.
 
Thank you Brian. This was very informative. I will save this message for
later ideas for this problem. For now, I have gotten temporary relief at
least from clicking
Help\Detect and Rapair.

Thank you for your help.
Bob
