XP home, SP1. Almost every time I "minimize" IE6 Outlook Express (OE) after
viewing and interacting in my email and newsgroups, a pop-up window appears
stating



"Outlook Express has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the
information you were working on might be lost. For more information about
this error, click here ('close' button)."



“click here” brings up this additional information which reads:



AppName: msimn.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1807 ModName:
shlwapi.dll

ModVer: 6.0.2800.1740 Offset: 000054e4





Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

See if this helps. BTY, are you sure you're using XP/SP1? The numbers you
posted don't jive, and if they did, you should have upgraded to SP2 more
than two years ago.

Thanks for your immediate response. I took a gander at the MSFT input and
hesitate to do anything w/ the registry as it suggests. I suppose I should
install SP2 and then see what happens next before attempting to fix this
minor problem experienced while still running SP1.

Regards.

Go to File | Identities and setup a new Identity and see if things work okay
in that Identity. If so you can use File | Import | Messages to get them
from the older Identity.

There is no need to update or reinstall.

Steve, I'll give it a try. However, when push comes to shove . . .
particularly when MSFT doesn't "service" SP1 any longer, I think I should
stop dragging my feet and install SP2 and its patches. Thanks for your
suggestion.

Regards.

1. OE Tools Options Maintenance Uncheck all logging options & OK your

2. Install WinXP SP2 and reboot twice; then check in at Windows Update to

Nah. I'm of the firm opinion (or is that opinionated?) that others can be
guinea pigs, not I !!

Thanks for your help. Regards.

The last of the guinea pigs died more than a year ago. Hurry up while it's
safe. There will be an SP3 someday. wink
