Outlook Express 6 with sp1

[Gary]

Can't find a newsgroup specifically for OE so I hope
someone here can help. When switching identities in OE it
sometimes hangs or quits responding. The only thing that
will make it work again is to reboot. I found article
274017 that addresses this issue for OE 5.0 to 5.5 but
not for 6.0 and XP. That article says to delete the
CHANGING value in the registry but under OE 6 with XP
there is no value named "CHANGING". Further, there is
more than one line with "DWORD" in it so I don't know
what to delete to fix this problem. I'm somewhat of a
novice so I need SPECIFIC information. Thanks, Gary

There's a bug in the latest Cumulative Patch for OE (Q330994) that's causing
this. Until a fix is released (don't hold your breath), try the workarounds
on this page of MVP Tom Koch's:

Force Identity Logon

I recommend using the script.
