I am using internet explorer 6.0 on a LAN and Outlook
2000. Whenever I want to email a web page to someone, I
click on File - Send -Page by Email (same problem if I
click on "Link by Email"). Although this used to work
fine, for the past several weeks results in an error
message stating that "Microsoft Internet Explorer has
encountered a problem and needs to close." Whether
I "send" or "don't send" my error to Microsoft, internet
explorer terminates and immediately opens with my Home
Page. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does
anyone have a suggested solution. Thanks for any
suggestion.

P.S. Is there any way to search the messages in this
newdgroup (or any Microsoft newsgroup) to narrow down
thousands of posts to potentially relevant messages?
 
I had previously run Spybot and Ad-Aware to rule that
out. This may have been purely dumb luck (I am not
a "techie"), but when I changed my default email setting
in Internet Explorer from Outlook to Outlook Express (I
first had to reinstate Outlook Express as a possible email
setting, using assistance I got from another posting), I
was then able (without error) to send web pages or links
by clicking on "Send - Page by Email" or "Send - Link by
Email" in IE. After confirming that this worked, I then
switched my default email setting in Internet Explorer
back to Outlook and it still works!! I don't know why
this seems to have fixed the problem, but I am satisfied
for now. Thanks for trying to help.
