Where did you read that? I didn't see it listed on the SP1 Release Notes (I could have missed it though). It seems like a pretty big bug. Thanks for the info.

I really wanted to install SP1 and be able to read my email...what a concept!!!

This is to fix bugs, not make them! You made that up!

You can purchase a 2 port USB 2.0 PCI card for $19.95 less a $10 rebate from IOGEAR at buy.com. Then your set.

Not a one problem with the Windows XP SP1 Express or Microsoft Internet Exployer 6 SP 1.

No, I didn't really, lol. A lot of people are having this problem and (zero) people know how to fix this.

This problem has already been addressed to Microsoft and in the meantime Tom Porterfield (MS-MVP) has come up with a temporary fix.

Go into Outlook Express, click on files/identities/manage identities and remove the checkmark in "Use this identity when starting a program". This will allow you to switch identities with a few extra steps, and choose which identity you wish to use, when you open Outlook Express.

Go to the microsoft newsgroups and you'll find a lot of problems and fixes. Also, another issue that was not listed in any of the releases is if you have the ultra 133 dma 6 , look out.....

I am having the exact same problem with identies in Outlook Express. I thought that xpsp1 had caused it, thanks to Barbara for the temporary fix of the problem.
