Outlook Express crashes each time I try to attach a file... No error message, no BSOD, nothing ! The install is recent 3 weeks at large, and clean. Latest driver for my video and for the SBLive card. So what the heck ? Is it the same driver problem related to the sound card as under Win2k ?
Thanx for any hint, tip or advice !

I can't attach a file (.jpg) with OE nor online with my mail provider, IE closes all windows and voila. So I guess it is not really related to OE...

Well I had a problem where it'd crash upon load, and that was down to corrupt identity settings, which I guess could be this too ?
 
You could try removing your accounts and reseting them up, I on the other hand as I couldn't even get into the program, had to remove them through the registry as described by a knowledge base article (you checked those for your problem ?).

It might be Outlook Express or Internet Explorer... My problem seems to be ONLY related to .jpg files !! Each time I try to attach a jp(e)g file, through OE, IE (i.e.: Yahoo 30 megs briefcase), the program crashes, the simple fact to select the image for attachment...
How to understand this ? Is there an option somewhere, some basic protection against viruses ? I read somewhere that OUTLOOK has an option to prevent from opening certain types of files, could it be something like that ?
Is it due to XP itself, I can't believe it, because everything work fine on my work computer (also with XP, on a lan).
Thanks or any Hint, Help, Tip...
