OE opens by itself and won't stay closed!
 

OE has developed a mind of it's own: it open's immediately upon start up. If
I shut it down...it immediately (within 30-45 seconds) re-opens.

While typing a message it will freeze the cursor disappears until I reclick.

Please HELP!

Thanks,

Paul

See point 3 he www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Also go to Start | Run and type msconfig and disable all startup items and
non-MS services and reboot. Then see if that fixes it.

There's no feature in Outlook Express to start itself or restart itself.

Did your ISP provide any software for you? Some provide a connection
manager software. It can be set to automatically start selected
programs whenever an Internet Connection is open.

with OE

OE will not evoke itself. Something running in the background is starting
it, so you need to see what is running in the background.

If you boot to safe mode does it still happen?

Do you have one of the keyboards with the extra buttons on, if so try
another keyboard, this was happening with my daughters machine. I think
the email button on the keyboard went bad but swapping the keyboard cured
the problem.
I'm not saying this will work for your problem but that was the cure for
my daughters machine.
