Outlook Express Crash Dump Error

Hello,

I am using Outlook Express 6.0 and everytime I am typing a new or reply
email I get an error message that says Outlook has preformed and error and
needs to close. The error message it associated with the Crash Dump file. How
do I change this so I do not get this message anymore? Is there a setting in
the registry to change a registry key so I will not get this message? This is
very frustrating because it has happened when I have worked about an hour or
more writing an email consequently, it never allows me to save what I am
working on and poof! its gone and so is the entire email message I was
composing or replying to. Also, I am using Windows XP SP1, SP2 and Outlook
Express 6.0
I also have all the latest security updates.
Thanks for your help.

Well, first of all, you should never work more than five minutes on a file
without pressing Ctrl-S to save a copy in the Drafts folder.

First eliminate any spyware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
