Outlook Express loads very slowly

It may be an internet connection issue. Are you connected yet? Is the "Login to MSN passport" enabled? Do you have such a passport?

Okay, problem sovled. For those who are interested, here's the solution:

1. While logged on as administrator, open the registry editor ("Start" -> "Run" -> "regedit.exe" -> "OK" ).

2. Locate the registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}

3. Right-click the "IsInstalled (REG_DWORD)" value and modify the value data entry from 1 to 0.

4. Click "Okay" and close the registry editor.

5. Download and install IE6 from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp

6. Run the installation (you may need to reboot first).

7. If prompted to "Clean Up Your Personal Settings" select "No".

8. Open a cold one and relax - you're done.

As I said earlier, I'd still appreciate hearing from anyone who might know what was the cause of this issue. Just curious, that's all :-)
