Howard, these error messages just became disruptive in the last ten days and no settings have been changed so I doubt that the Security settings is my problem. Something has happened to my computer. I use Outlook Express 5. At times I am not even able to click on a message without getting these error messages. I have so little knowledge or even ability to understand much of what I am being told, but I somehow envision a cumulative effect causing even more problems unfolding.
