These are worth investigating. It sounds like there's corruption of data in outlook Express. If it isn't a virus or trojan, then I'm afraid it could be that a hard drive is beginning to fail. back up all your data (if you can).

A new fault over the past 3 days, it willsuddenly and for no apparent reason turn itself off!!! At first it was happening on Internet and e-mail but tonight it started when I was reading along word document. Any ideas on this one please?The second problem relates to a lap top. It's problem is that if I plug in a USB keyboard this triggers the lap top to turn off. It is not possible topower on again for nearly 24 hours!!!! Now where on earth am I getting these gremlins? eleanor
