That it keeps coming up indicates that something on your system is
repeatedly opening and closing OE (MSIMN.EXE). To solve the problem,
you need to determine what is causing that.


But since XP SP3, we've been seeing some issues where various other
programs are triggering the problem.


Just curious but what other programs would open and close OE and why?


The applications in question aren't opening/closing OE. In some cases, OE
has been Removed from the install of Windows XP.

See this recent discussion about the problem:

For reference, here's a list of things which are known to cause this
behavior (so far):

• Various & sundry anti-virus applications (including Norton)
• Various & sundry anti-spyware applications
• Various & sundry third-party firewalls
• Any/all of the above running when SP3 was installed
• IBM Rapid Access keyboard (driver) RAKDLL.DLL
• Nero plug-in(s)
• Windows Desktop Search
• Windows Live Mail
• Disk defragmentation
• MailWasher
