imac and outlook express and other problems

Greetings,

imac OS 9.2
outlook express 5.06
MS Explorer 5.1 (mac)
Not a compgeek but can follow instructions fairly well

Helpful suggestions are much appreciated.

Symptoms: Outlook Express - When trying to send/receive
the application just quits and goes home. Otherwise seems
normal.

Explorer - quits seemingly at random, e.g., sometimes when
trying to go to a link and sometimes when no apparent
action is underway.

With both events, I have sometimes gotten ye ol' message
that the "application unexpectedly quit because of Type 2
error" or words to that effect.

Thank you. Have a swell day.

Sounds like there's a corrupted message waiting to be sent. When you launch
the program, check the 'Out' box for any messages sitting in there - if you
find one, move or delete it.

Have you tried increasing the memory allocation to Explorer? You can do this
by selecting the application icon in the Finder, pressing 'Command
(otherwise known as the Apple key) - I' and then pulling the dropdown menu
to select the 'Memory' section. Increasing the current memory allocation by
15-20% may help.

Remember that updating to Internet Explorer 5.1.7 and Mac OS 9.2.2 (if you
haven't already) is highly recommended.

HTH

Cheers,
Sasha
