Outlook Express Program Disappears!

[willowseattle \(remove this\)]

HI,
MS tech help and Comcast could not help. Can you? New
EMachine, XP Home edition came bundled with Outlook
Express, using comcast.net and have 6 out of 7 allowed
email identities (nonprofit org and regular work from
home). Problem: after switching from one identity to
others a variable number of times (a dozen or more times)
the Outlook Express program simply disappears and cannot
be opened/accessed in any way except by rebooting, which
is what I'm now having to do several times per day. When
I try to access OExp, I get the cursor hourglass for a
few seconds and then nothing else happens. No error
messages to give a clue.
Thanks,
Will
Seattle

Hi -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:
