After re-installing IE6, it now takes a full 30 seconds to open this program. There is a story behind why I had to reinstall IE6 and I'll try to keep it short. > I wiped out the entire Windows98 program (with the help of a MS tech!) and had to reinstall IE 6. All was okay with my Outlook Express at that time. Then, I stopped being able to use Explorer...all I got was a "Page cannot be displayed" error every time I clicked on it. So, I un-installed and re-installed IE6. > > This is when the problem started with Outlook Express. Prior to this, when I clicked on my O/E icon, it opened immediately. > > I am running Win98 with a DSL connection. > > Any thoughts on why it takes soooo long to open my email? > > Thanks for any help, > Selene > > To unsub or change your email settings: > //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk > > To access our Archives: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ > //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ > To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
