I received an MS auto update (KB 905474) and all is well
Your error message (as posted in OE General) was:
QP
OE has encounted a problem and needs to close
AppName: msimn.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180
ModName: mlang.dll
/QP
I'd bet that either another "auto update" resolved the problem or that the
"auto update" had nothing whatsoever to do with the problem.
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.
- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I have the same type of problem as Amarante, I have XP SP2 and have
uninstalled Norton Internet Security completely. Upgraded to
Microsofts new Windows Defender also used Windows Live Safty Centre,
no bugs. Also use Ad Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy and no bugs
there either. I have restated several times but still OE starts to
open then the old " OE has encounted a problem and needs to close". I
use Office Outlook in another account and have no problems. I use to
use both OE and Outlook in one account and they both work well untill
recently. Please can you advise on how to get OE up and running again.
Many thanks in advance.....Gee Gee.
