Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / August 2003

Hello All

Have an interesting problem occurring.  When I tried to launch my
Outlook Express (5.0.2) yesterday afternoon, I received the following
message "An error occurred while launching. Not enough memory".
Thinking it was merely something wrong with my system, I tried running
Norton Anti-Virus and Disk Doctor (twice).

When that didn't help, I checked online and found the security
bulletins discussing the potential problems discovered with OE and IE
that would allow for identity spoofing and other lovely things that
hackers could do to your system.  I downloaded the security patches
they recommended, from Mactopia, installed, and ran DD again just for
good measure.  While IE 5.1.7 is fine, OE 5.0.6 still has the same
error.

Am I permanently dead in the water when it comes to OE? Or is there a
particular file within 5.0.2, which may have been affected by a
security breach and is corrupting either of the old or new versions,
that can be thrown away to solve the problem?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
