Thanks. I have sent this to her e mail box and will try it out tomorrow.

Thanks folks

Unfortunately none of the tips on here or elsewhere worked. I installed Windows Live Mail, and could not believe it when that behaved in exactly the same way. She wanted to go back to Outlook Express as she knows the program well. After that the computer started to play up again as it did a few days ago. No matter what I did it got slower and slower. I tried to reinstall Windows XP but the set up would not initiate. I could not open any programs at all after a while. I had a word with the local repair man on the phone, who we both know as thoroughly reliable. He will collect it on Thursday and check the hardware.
