    Outlook express restarting?
    Hi Folks,
    I've got an unusual one for you 8-/
    Whenever I press send and receive in outlook express it causes the computer to restart, I've tried a virus scan but it comes up clean. And as far as I know nothing's been done that could have caused it, the problem just seems to have appeared.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Robin.

    Outlook Express
    Hi,
    My first reaction to your issue is that Outlook Express, for whatever reason, is corrupt.
    You could try the following to re-install it, but cannot guarantee this will fix the issue. It cannot hurt anything, and will not delete any of your configurations, emails, folders, etc, in Outlook Express.
    Go to Start/Find/Files or folders, and type in ie6setup.exe.
    Your windows version might be a little different, such as Start/Search, then type in ie6setup.exe.
    This file will start the install of Internet Explorer 6 and/or Outlook Express 6.
    Then, when you find this file, left double-click on it to start the installation wizard.
    When you see a choice of what to install, uncheck Internet Explorer and all the other items, EXCEPT Outlook Express. Left click on Outlook Express, to put a checkmark by it, and then click on OK.
    It will re-install Outlook Express 6.
    Then, if you have added any updates from Windows Update for Outlook Express, go back to http://www.microsoft.com, Windows Update, and let it scan, then re-install any security patches you are using.
    Best wishes,
    fredg

    I have used Kernel for Outlook Express in the past successfully. I would suggest you to try this one also as this utility is able to recover corrupt dbx file effectively you can recover mails from password protected dbx files as well with the help of this utility. Have a look at this http://www.repairdbx.org/
