This could have found some problems, but not when having a disk with XP-SP1
while SP3 with many updates are on the computer.
Thank you for trying

It was all about defects in the dbx-files and there is not the problem.
All i wanted to do and asked for is to re-install OE-6 but MS made that
impossible.

Forget it, that works only if one ore more dbases are corrupt.
As I wrote, I needed to re-install OE. So first I installed IE-7 and hoped
OE-6 was also replaced. No luck
My solution at last:
Uninstalled OE and IE from Configuration (Windows setup)
Deleted the complete OE-folder within Program Files (in safe mode). Than
erased manually every folder about IE or OE.
Re-installed XP-SP1 from Disk, with the sugestion "use only files from CD"
and that did the trick. So now SP-2, Windows update, SP3, Windows update and
it seems to work.
OE does, at least.

Thank you for helping, altough all remarks are about corrupt d-base files
and this was not the problem.

Regards

You went to a lot of work to generate new dbx files.
The only way that you could prove that it was not dbx files was to have
tried removing the dbx files before you did the reinstall.
