XP SP2 and MSN Mail

[Emcee]

The Level 3 MSN techs have no solution for this problem:
after installing SP2 (RC2), when I click on "Mail& More"
in MSN Explorer, the page downloads and opens in notepad
in an unreadable form. Under my wife's account, there is
no problem, so I suspect it is not an SP2 problem, but
rather some other problem--file association or a registry
key. Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks,

If this started after installing SP 2 RC 2, it seems to be an SP 2
issue.
Since SP 2 is not released and all the prerelease versions such as RC
2 are not supported by Microsoft I am surprised you got as far as you
did with MSN support.
Did you try the SP 2 newsgroups referenced on this link:

Otherwise you should take this to an MSN newsgroup:

If you uninstall the unsupported release candidate, does the problem go
away?
