Installed IE7 b1 - now OE requires account verification

[Spinman]

Installed IE7 beta 1 several days ago (XP-sp2).

Ever since, outlook express 6 is constantly asking me to enter my username and password for each folder it tries to download.

Anyone else experience this?

About ready to remove and go back to IE6 unless someone has some thought on how to overcome this issue.

Thanks -

I get the same problem. Driving me nuts.

here's another idea you might want to try; re-registering the Dll files for OE.

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

regsvr32 shdocvw.dll

regsvr32 actxprxy.dll

regsvr32 oleaut32.dll

regsvr32 mshtml.dll

regsvr32 browseui.dll

regsvr32 shell32.dll

run those from the command line or a batch file. it might get OE working properly again.

Okay, I'm in this boat too except that no matter how many times I try to login to Hotmail through Outlook Express, I never seem to get anywhere. It's like it rejects my login or something...

So I tried re-registering those .dll's and they all worked save one:

regsvr32 mshtml.dll

I get the following error:

mshtml.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.

This file can not be registered.

OK

Does mshtml stand for MicroSoft HoTMaiL in this case? Or just good ol' html...?

Xhonzi.

Please help. Feel free to send e-mail... though I'm not sure how I'll get it.

As this guy says, an update for Outlook Express on windowsupdate.com fixed the Hotmail problem. Worked for me too!
