It's important to know the Details. When you get an "Illegal Operation"
or "encountered a problem" message, there is usually a Details button
(In WinME press Alt/D), or a "click here" link to see the error report.
When you click on the button/link, it will give a message like: XXXX
caused an error in YYYY and a bunch of register nonsense or it will list
the Appname XXXX and Modname YYYY. The XXXX and YYYY are important to
identify the cause and solution. You can ignore the rest of the
message.

Also include operating system that you are using.

When I open Outlook Express I immediately get the "has encountered a
problem
and will shut down" error message... and it does.

Anyone know a fix for this problem that's not too technical?

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks
