OE freezes up on my laptop. I've downloaded the latest ver and it still does
it. I may have downloaded something in the past that affects it but I can't
determine what. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA

Adding to the previous good advice, be sure that your
mail and newsgroup folders are not overflowing, and
perform a cleanup and compact, from Tools / Options /
Maintenance. Be sure that you *uncheck* compact
in the background.

If you still have problems, it could be a damaged .dbx
file, in which case, you will have to back up all of your
data, close OE, rename the .dbx files, and restart OE.
