Outlook express 6 flashes and disappears
I have a Dell desktop computer that is running Windows XP SP3. I have always used Outlook Express 6 for my mail. I have 2 identities. This morning, I checked the mail on an identity. Then I clicked on "pass the identity." OE6 flashed and disappeared from the screen. I tried several times, restarted the computer, tried again. Same thing.
I ran Spybot, antivirus, Registry Mechanic and CCleaner. Still having the problem. I guess something is damaged somewhere. I went to my husband open OE and username and have remained open.
How can I fix it? I'm not high-tech. Should I reinstall OE? I use Firefox, but have Internet Explorer and which works very well.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks for your reply. I had found this possibility when I did a search, but the OE button wasn't in the taskbar.
He now works very well. I don't know what happened or how it happened, but now it's fine.
Thanks again.

From a particular sender of Facebook emails that contain links to their Facebook profile photo causes Outlook Express to break and closes when I click on the warning bar ' "some pictures have been blocked to prevent the identification of your computer of the sender." Click here to load the images down. "I noticed that when I click on the warning bar, I can hear the hardrive whirring away and then OE hangs.An error report is then sent to MS.

Attachments of any file type flashes and disappear when you try to open.
Attachments of any file type flashes and disappear when you try to open. Downloads act like they work, but do not. No file is on the hard drive with run or save. Used email is yahoo and hotmail. This is my mother's computer and I have no idea where to start. Guessing that it is a security problem, I thought I'd start by turning off security.

Why is-outlook express 6 flashing?
First, I start and launch Outlook Express 6, which is set to open the Inbox.
Everything seems in good condition until I perform certain functions, for example to open a message.
Then every 12 seconds the window will Flash. I can stop and restart OE nothing helps.
I have run a complete analysis on my XP system and committed irregularities. Still no effect.
This could be the cause of this problem?
I tried everything you have suggested and nothing helped.
Then I thought about what I changed when the problem occurred. In order to run a coupon print server, I put the default printer to print directly (not coil). So I reset the default printer for the coil. Incredibly, this corrects the problem. I don't know what the Assembly either OE!
Thank you very much for all your suggestions.
