Problem: I get an error message when I load Outlook Express (IE5.5 SP1) for the first time - 'Explorer has caused an error in COMCTL32.DLL. Explorer will close...'. And pretty much everything closes down. It's fine thereafter.
Possible Solution: It's a bug in the PGP plugin for Outlook Express. In versions after 6.5.8 (e.g. 7.0), it *might* be fixed. Since I really don't rely on the plugin, I merely installed PGP without it and it works fine. If I need to unscramble a news item, I just decrypt the current window from PGPTray.
