I used to be able to highlight an email, then go up to Message and hit
Block
Sender or Create Rule from Message. Recently, I got a lot of spam, so I
tried to do it, but noticed that those two options are no longer
highlighted,
so I can't use them. I don't know what happened. I tried a Windows
Update
to update my Internet Explorer and my Outlook Express. I'm up-to-date,
but I
still can't use those functions. Any ideas?

The Registry key has probably become corrupt.
Go to Start | Run and type
regedit
and navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Block Senders

Right click it and select Delete. (Make sure that you only selected Block
Senders.)

Then you will have to rebuild your list.
