OE6 error message...

[Rob]

I am using Outlook Express 6, and Windows Me. Have Norton
Internet Security 2004 installed also.
For whatever reason, I can no longer delete e-mail from
OE. I keep getting the same error message when I try to
delete ANY e-mail:

Msimn has caused an error in DIRECTDB.DLL

The app will then shut down when I close the error message.
I can still send and receive, but cannot delete.
Any ideas?
Please send responses to: (e-mail address removed)

THANKS!!!

Rob: my guess is that you have:
1. inadequate power protection, and
2. a corrupted file within OE.

I'll bet if you re-install OE your problem will be solved.
