Outlook Express not opening

Outlook Express does not open.  Instead, I get this message: "runtime error. Program c:/Program Files / Outlook Express / msimn.exe this application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way. "Any suggestions?

The message appears as soon as I try to open Outlook Express, which means I can't access it at all.  He tells me to contact tem in support of the application for more information, but I couldn't find anything on the help pages from Microsoft which mentions this particular problem.

Folders.dbx is probably damaged.

In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

The path to the message will be very similar to this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

Note these possible side effects:

When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

    Hi Jseiver,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    First of all, it would be ideal to determine exactly what is the error, or if an error occurs when you try to open OUTLOOK.  You can use reliability monitor to examine this information, and that you post in the forum.  To view reliability monitor, click Start ORB / right-click on computer - select Manage / Analyzer performance and reliability-click / Select reliability monitor.

    In the monitor of reliability to the bottom of the window, it will show the system stability report.  Look under five failure reports to find all the information about this conflict and report that information in the forum.

    You can uninstall the update-

    To uninstall a patch on Vista, go to control panel and click programs and features. In the left pane, click on view installed updates. All your updates of the program, but also updates Microsoft appears here. You can click on the latest patch to remove it from your computer. »

    Or given that this problem has occurred recently, you can always restore your system to a previous restore point.  Don't forget not all downloads changes or data occurred after the restore point has been taken up will be lost.

    Here is information on restoring your system to an earlier date of restoration:

  • Outlook Express not allowing the opening of e-mail

    Outlook Express; Downloads of the thin server, messages to delete all right, I can't open any email or create a new one. Immediately, he tells me that he's 'met '.

    and error and needs to close"invites me to send the error report to Microsoft. Then it stops responding all together and I have to open the Task Manager to close. Analyses of viruses are all clean. No update is not downloaded from Microsoft before it happens.

    You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    OE homepage seems to be frozen or in suspend mode and don't answer not anywhere on the page and leaves me with an hourglass. However. I use OE for send a web page off the images net or email of my photo file. I tried to not uninstall IE no chance that it won't let me uninstall, and I'm not smart enough to start to change the extensions in order to open the folds so I can dump IE.

I'm looking form something that says value and he's not here now I'm here.

    Create a new Folders.dbx file.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find Folders.dbx and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    In tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in the background box and let it unchecked. {N/a if running XP/SP2}.

    And backup often.
