Eleanor, Funny, my computer is hanging when using Microsoft Outlook 2003. When I reply to an email for example, especially if they are not plain text, it takes a few seconds to think about it.

I can be reading a word document or an e-mail or even writing and the computer freezes for a second or two, then all is well. However this keeps happening. Now you could say maybe I have a problem with my computer but it has started happening on another computer too. the only thing I can think of is that I have started using MSE on both computers and more or less at the same time. Might something be updating and causing this freeze? I am wondering if I should remove MSE to see if it resolves the problem. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
