Guest pdfero Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Have installed KB936357 three times and each time it causes OE6 to work improperly: 1. Will not download messages or even search all my accounts when first started. Have close window, reopen before it downloads. Then, at some point later, it stops downloading until I restart OE6. (It goes through the motions for some of the accounts but doesn't find anything until restarted.) 2. The reaction to clicks slows. 3. Cannot move more than one message from the Hotmail account to the inbox without getting an error message that OE has been corrupted and run a program such as Scandisk. As soon as I back out KB936357, OE6 works fine again.

KB936357 is an optional update; don't install it if it causes such a problem. -- OE-specific newsgroup: http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) pdfero wrote: > Have installed KB936357 three times and each time it causes OE6 to work > improperly: > 1.

Guest pdfero Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: KB936357 Win XP security update "breaks" OE6 Yes, I agree, and I was about to do that when, on the fourth try, I suddenly noticed that another program was being installed and uninstalled by my System Restores. It's a PC World program called Instaback, which backs up files as they are changed. I'd put the OE6 folders in it. I unloaded Instaback, and the problem disappeared. I then reinstalled the entire security download, and without Instaback everything has worked fine now for a day. Some things aren't as they seem, I'm afraid. Will be more careful next time.
