Need Help With Script Error In OE

I am trying to help a geographically-distant friend with a problem she
is having with Outlook Express. Here is what she says:

I 'copied' some reviews about a tv from the Best Buy website and
'pasted' it onto 'create mail' and sent it to myself to read later.
When I went to open the email I got the script error window. I can
click on yes or no and it will not go away. It keeps me from going
anywhere and I have to ctrl>alt>delete to end OE. When I brought OE
up again I had a second before the script error appears and right
clicked to delete the email. Then the script error didn't come up.
But when I go to deleted items of course it shows up with that email.
And I don't have that second to right click delete it. So I end up
having to ctrl>alt>delete to even continue to use my computer. How do
these things happen ???

Any suggestions?

Thanks

There are different script errors and this one isn't specified. But, try
these and if it doesn't help, post the entire error message.

Go to Start | Run and type, (or copy/paste):

regsvr32 ole32.dll

Press Enter.

If still no joy:

In OE go to: Tools | Options | Security and set OE to the Restricted Zone.
That should remove active scripting and do away with the error messages.

Second suggestion worked.
