Hi Mike,
The "program error" window says an error log is being created, but does not
say where it is filing it - do you know where it might be. This is Win 2000
and alt/D does'nt do anything.

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.

OE won't even start

Thanks for the advice Tim.
I've checked *.dbx files - all OK
Ive deleted two identities as directed -no change other than error
message
comes up quicker.
It has set up a default identity key on re-boot but with same result
ie no OE.
Any other thoughts? Would upgrading to OE6 do anything?

Hi Andy,

This issue is covered in the Microsoft KB. The leading causes for the
error
are files being read-only in the message store or a damaged OE
identity.

"Have had virus trouble. Removed viruses and upgraded WinME to
Win2000.
Still
can't open OE5 - get error message "msimn.exe has generated errors
and will
be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program."
Re-installed
Win
2000 "repair and upgrade" option but no change!
Any suggestions?
I installed a second Windows 2000 clean and it opens OE5 just fine,
but with
this second Win 2000 none of my software or data is available to
it!!!
