I keep getting the following error meassge. OE starts up and seems to work
but this error message keeps coming up, and I can't find any reference to it anywhere. "Outlook express could not be started. The application was unable to open the Outlook Express message store. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk full. Contact Microsoft Support for further assistance (0x80004005, 183)" Needless to say it accesses all my messages and seems to work ok, i send and receive emails? Also i have plenty of disk space available on both drives and plenty of RAM? Any help appreciated. |

Close OE and delete Folders.dbx from your message store.
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer. In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "rrstokie" wrote in message ...
