Things you can do to sort thru this. You can clear Event Manager . then open Outlook let it crash again and see if the Event manager now shows you any issues. uninstall any spam programs you have.. also remove any spam add-ons that might be lurking in the background..see if the problem persists. Uninstall ZA and see if it goes away, I'm betting it's not ZA unless ZA has become corrupted somehow.. You can also run 'detect and repair' under the Outlook help menu item and see if that finds/fixes anything. But you may need the Office install CD to run that. I'm more inclined to think it's from some cleaner program that got a little overzealous. Or a file has gotten corrupted somewhere. Possibly could be from file associations having gotten corrupted/or changed too.

Sure sounds like a good tip to remember though thanks. Perhaps it is the junk mail filter doing it. I am now thinking maybe it might be because I don't have the address that I am trying to open or send in my address book. I would love to disable it but when I do I start getting tons of junk mail. Sure makes sense why ZA slows you PC down I tried to open an email from TTT the other day and it put me back to the desk top. Now thinnking back I believe ZA put that email in the junk folder. I think it was the xmas card with the puzzle. Thanks again Juanita ----- Original Message ----- From: Juanita Kimble <mailto:jkimble@xxxxxxxxxx> To: triadtechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 10:10 AM Subject: [triadtechtalk] Outlook Express And some links Sometimes when I try to open an email OE closes and puts me back to my desk top. On the other hand sometimes when I try to forward an email it does the same thing. A couple of links I clicked on did the same thing. I think that is Spybot S&D doing that on the links which is probable good. But the emails doesn't make a lot of sense. Seems if they were bad I wouldn't be able to open them at all if it is S&B causing this. Anyone here had this to happen to you? Juanita _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
