OE won't start

[Curio]

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.
