SYMPTOMS
In the Outlook Express pane in Outlook Express 5.5, when you click Next or Previous at the bottom of the Tip of the day pane to browse for tips, you may receive a script error message.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if you installed a program that uses Microsoft DirectAnimation or Microsoft DirectX Transform after Internet Explorer 5.5 was installed. The program that uses DirectAnimation or DirectX Transform applies an old module to the computer, which causes this issue. Note that this issue does not occur if you install the program that is packaged with the fix module for DirectX Media.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:  Reinstall Internet Explorer 5.5. Manually reapply a new DirectX Transform module:  Click Start, and then click Run. Type the following command, and then click OK:

regsvr32 \System\Dxtmsft.dll

 When the following message is displayed, click OK:

DllRegisterServer in C:\Windows\System\Dxtmsft.dll succeeded.
