The problem started after no changes that the owners of the PC now about, as I said they are old. No registry clean up tools were used, and as I stated a new install of OE did not help, even after following anothers advice of renaming the reg keys HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\WAB HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WAB even using the orig version of OE, v4, it still had same problem - install OE6 from a PC magazine disk - no change. thanks for the explanation - already knew about the GUID, but it helps to have it clarified. any help at this point is very appreciated

I am having this problem - although its on 98 - the problem is i have to run the regsvr32 inetcomm.dll cmd each time I reboot. Anyone with any ideas? I have spent about 6 hours so far - reverting back to older version of inetcomm.dll just made things worse - causing mail to not download from POP server. I have gone thru the uninstall proccess removing registry keys and then reinstalled OE6 - but no change. Is a family friends PC - old people not wanting to go to XP and the PC was only reformatted in May this year. thx in advance
