Outlook Express Application Error at Exit

G

Guest

Hi Everyone,

Each time I exit Outlook Express after reading new mail. I receive the
following message box:

"Msimn.exe - Application Error
The Instruction at '0x77f51d26' referred memory at '0x007f4764'. The memory
could not be written.
Click on OK to terminate the program."

Each time I click on OK the message disappears and everything seems normal
as I move on to whatever task I'm involved in. Should I be concerned other
than wanting to get rid of the messages? Please help.

Thank you,
Terry

B. You may need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini

C. Rename Folders.dbx to Folders.old

Thank You; However; what's a video driver? 1 month ago I paid $1500 for this
and ten hours/day are spent trying to use it. I just deleted OE!
