Thanks for the reply.

I'm using Windows 2000 Server SP4

Yes, I was posting from one of the problematic PC's. I got the version #
from the Help/About in OE

I compared my files' versions with the ones you've listed. I have the same
versions, or what appears to be newer.

Here are the discrepancies:

Yours: 6.0.2800.1441 Inetcomm.dll
Mine: 6.00.2800.1506 (newer)

Yours: 6.0.2800.1123 Msident.dll
Mine: 6.00.2800.1106 ( <<< older)

Yours: 6.0.2800.1437 Msoe.dll
Mine: 6.00.2800.1506 (newer)

Yours: 6.0.2800.1450 Wab32.dll
Mine: 6.00.2800.1478 (newer)

Yours: 6.0.2800.1123 Wabimp.dll
Mine: 6.0.2800.1478 (newer)


Any suggestions where to go from here?
