Problem with Outlook Express Ver 6 since IE 7 installation - dzinke

For some reason, since installing IE-7 on my PC some e-mails inside OE lock
up when opened (being viewed) (NOTE:  this action is not consistant with all
msgs).  Usually they have a graphic (picture).  What happens is that is I can
not negotiate in or around the msg (can not scroll, right click, pick
anything from the menu bar), all that is available is anything outside that
particular OE window and upon closing (Able to pick the red 'x' in the upper
right corner to close the problem msg).  However, even after closing I can
not pick another msg to read.  I need to close out of OE all together then
reopen.  When reopened, as long as I stay out of the file that is giving me
trouble, I have no problem.  Should I try viewing the msg again, the will
freeze OE again.  Is there any fix to this problem?

Installing IE7 had nothing to do with this OE problem.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed?  What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?  What third-party firewall
(if any)?

OE Tools | Options | Security: Is Secure Sites zone selected here?  (It
should be.)
