Outlook picture insertion error

[Jonty]

I'm running Win 98 and using Outlook Express 5.

Up until a while ago when composing a message, I could click on the Insert tab, then the picture option, select a picture to go in the email and everything was fine. Now for some reason this message comes up 'An error has occurred in this dialog. Error 195 undefined is null or not an object'. I've attached a picture of this below. I cannot now put pictures into the body of the email which is annoying.

I haven't installed anything that could've stopped this working and I'm at a loss to what's wrong.

Can someone help please.

You didn't update your version of IE?

Article 311750 - OL2000: Error Message: Error 195 'Undefined' Is Null or Not an Object

This problem can occur if you installed Microsoft Office Service Pack 2 (SP2), and then upgraded to Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2.

Read the article for a resolution and workaround.

[Edit: I forgot you were running outlook Express. However, this still may work for you]

I did download and install the October 2003 cumulative patch for IE5.5 service pack 2 in October, maybe that screwed it up? I think it may have been around that time this problem started too.

I don't have Word on my machine so I can't do the workaround like that link says.

I don't particularily want to upgrade to IE6 either, I'll see if I can uninstall that patch maybe?

Thanks for the link anyway.
