text of messages disappeared

[malcolm garner]

When I connected to Outlook Express after a week away I
found that all the message contents in the inbox and other
folders has apparently been wiped clean. I can still see
and, in new emails, receive the senders name and the
subject details but there is no text. I have sent emails
from another computer and this still happens. i have
downloaded all the latest patches and updates etc but they
have not made any difference.
I can access the content of messages from my ISP through
the internet but not through Outlook Express.
Am I doing something wrong or have people any suggestions
how I can get the thing running normally/
Please reply as well to malcolmmtb2(delete this bit)

Thanks for any help you can give

Try to select a sentence on the email just as if you
could see the text. Select an area and see if it stays
black just as if you have selected something. If it stays
black or selected go to fonts and change the text to a
color. I had a similar thing happen a month ago and had
to reset my default text back to black. I havn't got a
clue as to what change my email to white text which you
can't read on a white background. No one touches my
computer but me and I have no reason to change it so I
can only surmize it came from a spyware or virus program.
I ran spysweeper (free) and found 90 spywares on my
system so be carefull if it happens again you'll know

Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup. At a command line prompt, enter
REGSVR32 INETCOMM.DLL

MG,

Did you figure out how to fix this? I have the same
symptoms. Would appreciate any insight you may have
gathered.
