OE wont open
"Have had virus trouble. Removed viruses and upgraded WinME to Win2000. Still
can't open OE5 - get error message "msimn.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program." Re-installed Win 2000 "repair and upgrade" option but no change! Any suggestions? I installed a second Windows 2000 clean and it opens OE5 just fine, but with this second Win 2000 none of my software or data is available to it!!! andy |

Hi Andy,
This issue is covered in the Microsoft KB. The leading causes for the error are files being read-only in the message store or a damaged OE identity. See this article for more information.

Thanks for the advice Tim.
I've checked *.dbx files - all OK Ive deleted two identities as directed -no change other than error message comes up quicker. It has set up a default identity key on re-boot but with same result ie no OE. Any other thoughts? Would upgrading to OE6 do anything? andy "Kuay Tim" wrote: Hi Andy, This issue is covered in the Microsoft KB.

Hi Andy,
The problem may be carried over with upgrading. You should, however, give serious consideration to doing this before too long. Microsoft has done much work to improve OE 6. Here are two more KB articles that might help to resolve the situation. The first involves damage to the master indexing file in the message store. The reinstall article addresses damaged install issues. A possibly damaged install can be addressed before doing the upgrade. Damaged Folders.dbx file in the message store folder http://support.microsoft.com/kb/233264/en-us Also, see the articles in the More Information section.

It's important to know the Details. When you get an "Illegal Operation"
or "encountered a problem" message, there is usually a Details button (In WinME press Alt/D), or a "click here" link to see the error report. When you click on the button/link, it will give a message like: XXXX caused an error in YYYY and a bunch of register nonsense or it will list the Appname XXXX and Modname YYYY. The XXXX and YYYY are important to identify the cause and solution. You can ignore the rest of the message.

Hi Mike,
The "program error" window says an error log is being created, but does not say where it is filing it - do you know where it might be. This is Win 2000 and alt/D does'nt do anything. andy "Michael Santovec" wrote: It's important to know the Details.

Hi Tim,
deleted folder - no change. started re-install - got as far as "start windows in safe mode" to rename files like msoe.dll - F8 button does nothing (previously used F2 to go into BIOS and that worked fine). Is there another way of starting in safe mode like a dos command? Am I in a mess? Is there a way of downloading OE6 and installing it over existing OE5, but without this PC being connected to the web? ie6setup.exe is only a web connection. andy "Kuay Tim" wrote: Hi Andy, The problem may be carried over with upgrading.

Hi Andy,
I don't know what to suggest at this point. Hopefully someone will step in here, or you could try a group for the operating system. -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MS-MVP - Outlook Express Lynnwood, WA * "andytj" wrote in message ...
