I'm trying to fix my sister's Outlook Express. She inadvertantly tried to send an email with an attachment of 175 large images! Ouch! Now the email is stuck trying to handle this massive task. I can get the Outbox open, but am unable to delete the email. The computer is now so slow, it is difficult to do almost anything. Is there any other way to remove the emailing task to get the computer working normally again? Thanks for any help.

Go into her Outlook Express folder (with OE closed) and delete the outbox.dbx file.

Life's more painless for the brainless.
