I keep getting this error message when I try to select a recipient from my
address book.

Program:C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimin.exe

Please advise.
Thank you,

I suspect that there's more to the error message.

How are you accessing the recipients? (e.g. via the TO button in the
message composition window, via the contacts pane, via the address book
right click, etc.)?

Can you access the address book directly OK?

I am accessing the recipients through the address book - right click.

So if I understand you correctly, you open the address book, right click
a contact then select Action, Send to mail recipient and get an error
message.

It's important to know the Details. When you get "encountered a
problem" message, there is usually a "click here" link to see the error
report. When you click on the link, it will give a message that 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.

Also include operating system that you are using and what specifically
you were doing when the error occurred.

Do you have similar problems if you try to use a mailto link in a web
page? Or if you right click a file in Windows Explorer and select Send
To Mail Recipient?

Make sure that Outlook Express is set properly as your default mail
program:

You mention the error
Program C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe
All that is, is the name of the Outlook Express program.
Isn't there any more in the pop-up window, such as a details button?

Even though you are using Firefox, you should still be able in the
Windows Explorer (or My Computer or My Documents, etc.) to Right click
on a file and select Send To, Mail Recipient. When you do, do you get
the same error message as from the address book, a different error
message or does it open a message composition window? If it opens a
message composition window, is it for Outlook Express or another mail
program?

It opens a message composition window. I emailed something to my sister and

When I try to do this from my address book as I said that window pops up and
my email closed on me.

It's hard to tell what's going on. Something is screwy with the default
mail program.

Perhaps it would help to see the error that you are getting. But you
are using the web interface for posting and I don't think there is
anyway to attach a screen shot using that. You'd have to use OE for
posting.

Short of that can you describe the pop-up error box? Is there any
heading in the pop-up? Any buttons at all?

But you might want to just skip trying to fix the problem and create a
new message first, then click the TO button to select the name from the
address book.
