changing identity fails
 

This is a weird one that just started recently. Using OE 6.0.2900.2180. I
have a total of 4 identities on this computer; main (not used), backup (for
archiving only), and two active ones. One personal account and one business
account that has a password to access. I switch between these two active
identities pretty regularly. I use the file/switch identity switch. If I go
from the business to the personal it works fine all the time. But about half
the time when I go to switch from personal to business, although it blanks
out briefly as usual , it returns to the personal identity even after
entering the correct password and making sure the business identity is
highlighted on the list. If I try again, it usually switches okay.

Ideas? It isn't World peace, but it is irritating. ;)

Thanks in advance.

You may have some corruption in one or more Identities. I'd do a backup and
then in each Identity do a File | Folder | Compact all and see if that helps
at all. It could also be that OE isn't making the proper registry change
when you switch and there may not be anything you can do about it.

Make sure no 3rd party programs are interfering. See
