    Outlook Express 6 Freezes Up
    I use OE 6 as my e-mail application. Every time I click on an embedded webpage link in an e-mail, OE6 freezes up. I can still use other applications, but to make OE 6 work, I have to reboot.

    This is a new Thinkpad laptop from IBM, so I am guessing it must be something to do with the default settings, because on my desktop I can open a link in the same e-mail message with no similar problem.

    Any ideas?

    Make sure to do a repair on Internet Explorer & check to see if you need any updates on your system.

    Also try this:
    1. In Outlook Express, on the Tools menu, click Options.
    2. Click the Maintenance tab, click to clear the Compact messages in the background check box, and then click OK.
    3. Quit and then restart Outlook Express.
