    OE won't start

    Hello. OE won't start for me. I see it appear in TM for a split second then disappear - anyone have a clue as to what is happening? I can start Outlook though - but I never use it.

    hi

    can you back up your oe files and move them? see if it loads

    might be a corrupt database

    if you get the same problem you should re-install it and migrate the files

    Or maybe if you hve IE SP1 then you can install the Outlook Express 6 SP1 Cumulative Update KB887797 (Dec 2004) ++ Link ++ or something like that

    Sounds like a good time to try out Thunderbird.

    If you are trying to run the System File Checker the command is

    SFC /scannow

    When you try and run OE and the banner flashes up do you see OE under the process list in Task Manager (msimn.exe) - if you do, how many times can you see it (click on the column heading 'image name' to sort the entries by name.

    If you start the computer in Safe Mode does OE run correctly.

    To start the computer in safe mode keep tapping the F5 key when the machine is turned on and the BIOS check is finished to when windows starts.
