My computer freezes/locks up all the time but there is no pattern to it of a certain person's mail causing it. It will happen when I have too much mail in the Inbox of Outlook Express. It will happen when the "temp" file of Windows has apparently too many items. There was a Microsoft correction of some subject lines being too long. The most usual reason that I have found for mine locking is that I need to update McAfee virus scan or there is a new "critical" windows update. Even Hewlett-Puckered has updates at their site. Maybe you should check for updates in your PC manufacturer, Windows and and virus scans or other services like that which you are using. I am only semi-computer literate and there are those knowing far more about these things. You are not likely to get the real culprit (McAfee, Microsoft, etc.) to readily admit that they are freezing up PC's all over the place. Try updating the above and see if it stops. And delete some extra large files of email, etc. Reserve more disc space for email. All of those helped me. Amelia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert F.
