Default Outlook Express 6 freezes when opening emails with graphics.

the OE files - ie. cookies, temporary files, etc. were deleted using the
Internet Options Control Panel utility.

I'm not sure what you mean by "All OE files were deleted". Do you mean
that you manually deleted them?

In any case I'm glad that you got your problem fixed.

Hey Michael:

Thanks tons for your professional assistance.

I ran the reg fix utility you suggested and changed the Security settings
by putting OE in the restricted zone. All OE files were deleted. As a
result, all graphic files pop up speedily and correctly now.

Thanks once again for your most timely help.

It might be your anti-spam program scanning the attachments (images).

Assuming that these are HTML messages, it could be some scripting in the
messages. In OE Tools, Options, Security put OE in the Restricted zone
if it isn't already.

Could be some program that you installed that took over image handling
and has messed up the registry. Try the fix he

Could be a corrupted Temporary Internet Files (TIF). Try clearing it.
In IE: Tools, Internet Options, General, TIF Delete Files. Be sure to
check the Delete All Offline Content in the pop-up.

I use outlook express version 6 as my email application. This is the
problem:

Every time I go to an incoming email with graphics in it, it opens but
outlook express freezes. I have to then use the ctrl + alt + del keys
to stop outlook express from running.

What do you think is causing this?

Any response to this post is deeply appreciated.
