Surf Express 1.1.2 and Outlook Express problems

CNET staff
Probably related to the previous report of problems between Surf Express 1.1.2 and Internet Config, several readers report that they cannot successfully use Microsoft's Outlook Express 4.0c after installing Surf Express.

Omar Shahine writes: "Surf Express is completely unusable with Outlook Express 4.0c. It corrupts the Internet Prefs file and does not allow OE to view complex HTML mail. Since OE uses the Internet Preferences file of IC, many problems occur there when launching and changing settings causing many errors and corruptions."

Fernando Alves kept getting an "error message upon launch stating that the preferences could not be read. Clicking OK would take you into OE but trying to quit would freeze OE."

Per Iwarson writes that he cannot switch between user accounts and that, after trying, the Quit command fails to work.
