I have been using OE for many years and think I know how to use it. Today, however, I can't seem to get it to load a page so I can write an email. When I go to "new" as in new email, nothing comes up for me to write my message. The top menu bar says, Send - but there is no place for me to write my message so there is nothing to send. I know I'm getting up in years but I think I know how to operate this software. Do you suppose this is a virus problem? I don't know what to think. Thanks for any thoughts.
