Microsoft Outlook email - I'm stumped on OE6 Problem

WinXP Pro 32 bit auto updated, AMD Athlon 64 +2800 3 months old system;
system behind SMC router; use Norton AntiVirus 2005 & ZoneAlarm Pro; ran fine
until I IMPORTed second batch of backed up OE6 e-mails. (First backup just
handled files going back about 6 months; second picked up files going back
several years.) 1st IMPORT went fine and has been used for a month. 2nd
IMPORT went fine until COMPACT ALL FILES stopped at SENT FILES with an OE
error message "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks.
Please review the list below for more details" The green bar below is
complete. The Errors Tab is active and empty. The Tasks Tab says "Send 1
message(s) using '((my pop account))', Status says 'warning' and connection
has local area network. (I get this same message whenever I try to compact.)
I then went back to working and find that OE6 will keep SENDing every e-mail
I create or forward. SPAM central. The e-mail stays in the OUTBOX and
cannot be MOVED to another file. It must be DELETEd.
I've done all sorts of things and checked with some usually knowledgeable
folks but nada. I really need help. In going down the check lists I have
discovered that I have a file named nwiz.exe which could be legitemate NVIDIA
or could be bogus. It is not in a location where NVIDIA says it should be.
But even when dropped from STARTUP I have the OE6 issue. I also have worked
my way down Tim Koch's excellent article on OE6 toolkit, getting a different
error in COMPACT during SENT FILES: "OE: The folder is currently in use by
OE or by another application." There shouldn't be.
WHAT is the cleanest state possible to try again?
Following Tim's article further he recommends RUNning 'regsver32' to
re-write a number of DLLs. Neither in RUN nor in SEARCH (with all the hidden
and folder options selected) do I find "regsver32".
Should I have regsver32, how do I get it (back?), is it a likely problem?
Sorry for the verbosity. This message would be 3X longer if I added all the
steps I have taken.
