Please help,

Yesterday, I downloaded the "critical updates" the microsoft website said my computer needed (including the sasser worm patch).

The next day, I tried to check my email through Outlook Express but all the previous and current messages were blank. It still shows who the messages were from, the subject, etc. but whenever I click on it to read the message no text show up. Thinking it might have just cleared out old messages, I tried sending a test email to myself but that turned up blank also.

I don't know if this would be of any importance, but whenever I scroll over where the body of the text should appear, an hour glass shows up next to the cursor.

I'm almost positive this had something to do with the updates (one of them was for Outlook Express) but I'm not sure how to fix it (if it's possible).

Thanks

This seems to be the most common fix:

Be sure OE is closed.
Click Start-->Run.
Type: regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
Note the space between the 2 and i.
Click OK.
