after downloading the last series of updates, my Outlook Express will not let
me access my mail account, no matter that I go in to accounts and reset my
name, e-maill address and password, it will not recognize my passwords. I
even tried a password recovery program, and it still wouldn't work. error
message is 08xccc32 I think, and now I am locked out and it just wont start,
and generates a error message. Damn thing!

Please reply in newsgroup. Do NOT send email.

Is MS Office or Outlook also installed?

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.

- WinXP SP2 only: If your machine is fully up-to-date at Windows Update,
installing the following patch (KB918766) will help to avoid such data loss
in the futu
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...2-98af2256ccc3

This patch will be included in the next Cumulative Update for Outlook
Express/WinXP SP2. (MS06-043 is not a cumulative update.)

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