Unfortunately your "fix" hasn't worked for everyone.

Hi all,

I stumbled across this thread via Google as I too *was* suffering/
plagued by the same prob & finally got around to trying to solve it.

I've never (knowingly?!) used Outlook Express or Outlook on this PC...

Anyway, this worked for me... I deleted the entire contents of:

C:\Documents and Settings\my user name\Local Settings\Application Data
\Identities\random numbers and letters\Microsoft\Outlook Express

The above method won't be a solution for anyone who actually uses OE
though as it will no doubt delete all your emails.

...may help someone, some day though?!

Maybe a 'sledge hammer to crack a nut'.... but it worked for me )On

I experience the same problem, although using Outlook 2007
Every time I log on the msg pops up.
In the past I had used OE once or twice.
I use Norton AV.

Via taskmanager I traced the error-popup tot 'Outlook Express' but the
belonging process is: WindowsSearch.exe !!!

Please start your own new thread in the future. Since you snipped out all
previous messages, and I no longer have them, what you posted is all I see.
I'll assume this is your problem.

The problem is with the registry counter that gives you the prompt after 100
closings of OE. It is being increased quicker than it should be and even if
you are not using OE.

There is a growing number of programs and actions that may be causing this
after installing SP3. Do you have any of the following?

IBM Rapid Access keyboard (driver) RAKDLL.DLL
Windows Desktop Search
Window Live Mail (even if it was removed)
Mailwasher
Nero plug-in(s)

Opening EML files while OE is closed will also contribute to the registry
count.

Various anti-virus, anti-spyware and third party firewalls, especially if
they were running when you installed SP3.

In the case of Windows Desktop Search, (the #1 offender), you have to tell
it to stop indexing OE.

Windows Desktop Search. Set Desktop Search Options:

In the case of Nero Scout, see Item 2.3 on page 8 here.

In the option to exclude selected file types from indexing, be sure to add
these file types:

..eml, .dbx & .nws
