RE: Windows Mail accessing registry key like crazy!

My provider is DSL Extreme; I get to the web via Internet Explorer with AOL
as my home page.

Purchased the computer with Vista in April-everything ran just fine.

Two days ago, after I read an E-mail, if I click on "Keep as New" or
"Delete" or just try to X out, nothing happens. I keep on clicking on those
buttons or the red X upper right and nothing. I click on the tab and finally
a little message shows up that says "Not responding." The little window
comes up that gives me the options to have the program search for a solution
and fix it, close it or search for. . .something.

This is happening WITH EVERY E-MAIL!!! I have to have Windows restart the
program after every E-mail!!! What is going on here?
