Microsoft Windows XP/SP2
Internet Explorer 7
Outlook Express 6.0
-----------------------------------------------------------
When I try to open my OUTLOOK EXPRESS e-mail, I don't get any error
messages, but msimn.exe starts up and hogs anywhere from 50 to 98% cpu. And
then nothing happens. The cpu usage goes up and down a bit, but no OE.
Every other program seems to work fine, including IE. I've tried running
"sfc /scannow", as suggested by MS Support at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378 ("How to Reinstall or Repair
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP"), but that didn't help.
I'm hesitant to uninstall and reinstall Outlook Express, because I'm not
confident in my ability to preserve all the folders, email messages, and
multiple identities I've got set up.
Any suggestions or instruction would be greatly appreciated.
Note: Nothing was added or changed. This happened upon booting up the
computer today. It had been fine prior.
