Not sure if I am any further forward or not, but I did a system restore and that has made no difference. I actually don't use SR but ConFigSafe which appears to save a lot more data.
However, in searching for a solution, I found an MS 'how to' on how to reset OE. In following the instructions to re-register certain files, the files regsvr32 mshtml.dll and regsvr32msjava.dll (or even regsrv32 /i mshtml.dll) give the message ' ****** entry point not found, file not registered.'
Don't know if this is the cause of the problem but how do I reinstall and register them?

Post the link to the Microsoft instructions.

Because one of the non-recognised dll files is Java (and I really don't understand if I need it or not, but it is always there anyway) I have tried to upgrade. No real problems with Firefox, but IE does not like it. Apart from the fact that I'm using XP sp3 and Java 8 (which apparently should run under XP but doesn't on my computer) tells me that I must upgrade the OS, which is not going to happen for some time.
Anyway, whatever I have done, OE does appear to be working correctly right now (perhaps I have spoken too soon!) although the two non-registered dll files are still not registered.
