Outlook Express Not re-Starting

[Guest]

Have been using Outlook Express for a number of years no problem. However,
lately it has been acting up. I suspect I may have a virus, but don't know
how to fix the problem.

When my computer first starts, I can start up Outlook Express as usual.
However, if I exit Outlook Express, and then try to re-start it, I cannot. I
get no error message--simply NOTHING happens. I have to re-boot the computer
to get back into Outlook Express.

Help!? What do I have to do to fix this problem?

My Computer runs Windows 2000.
All the latest Windows updates have been downloaded and installed.
Have Symantec's Norton Anti-virus 2005, and have downloaded and installed
all the latest anti-virus definitions. A scan of my computer found four
adware products (that were automatically removed), but the problem has not
gone away.

What else can I do?

Ask your question in an Outlook Express group like

This group is for the Microsoft Office Outlook component. It is not that
we do not want to help, but most visitors here do not use or know
Outlook Express.
