[AccessD] Office XP service packs

My sister in law was using OE with her windows XP system until she 
bought OXP.  I installed it and didn't think twice, but then she called 
me the next day to comment that her email wasn't working, upon 
investigating and running a repair on IE, and even attempting to install 
the latest IE6 sp1, OE was dead, it had a ton of errors you could not 
send any email nor received them.  I then set up Outlook for retreiving 
her email and everything has worked fine.  I remember when the RC2 
release for OXP that many users commented that their OE was breaking 
upon installing OXP.

of course her copy of XP is sans sp1.
