    For several day's now when I have my OLE mail open and I click send/receive or an email to open or read, Everything just dissapears off the screen. It doesnt happen every time but about 50% of the time. When it dissapears off the screen and I click the Email icon on desktop, all it does is just a quick flash. I have to restart system in order for it to open again. This was happening before I installed SP3.

    Anyone have any ideas as to why this happens now. Started about 2 weeks ago. This happens when I am on my laptop wireless to my desktop via a Linksys router.

    IE7 SP3
    Win XP home

    OLE 6

    I would start by re-registering OE and it's associated library files as outlined here ....

    An Outlook Express basic repair kit

    Note that the command regsvr32 msjava.dll will most likely fail as you will not have msjava on the computer.

    Thanks Pete,

    I have finished your suggestion. The mshtml.dll and the msjava.dll did not suceed. The other two did. If you do not hear back from me, all will be OK.

    UPDATE.. Pete, all is not OK. Soon as I went back and open OLE and clicked to open an email, same thing happened. Everything just dissapeared.
