Default OE 6 Won't Start

Start he http://www.insideoe.com/problems/errors.htm#crash

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

There is no error message when trying to start it. The hard drive spins
for a moment then stops. Running XP. I had just recovered from a disk
cluster error using chkdsk at the 5 test level. Before Chkdsk nothing
would
run. All runs now except OE. It won't open in the safe mode either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
