Outlook Express Dies after Updates

[Aussiblue]

Aussiblue--Did you try the uninstall/reinstall of OE described toward the end of the MSKB link you posted? (You probably should save your email messages somewhere before doing that.)

Yes; didn't work - won't reinstall even if I "uninstall OE and IE6..

Some fairly generalized discussion here

Saw that too; not sure if it leads me anywhere though.

I can't help but think that this problem is related to the 'authentication' update.
I had concerns about it and did not download it, and even posted about it:

If you can find it in add/remove, you might want to remove it and see if that fixes your problem. Just a shot in the dark, hth.

Can't find it to uninstall so maybe I should just install the beta version of IE7 now.
