Unfortunately, you haven't provided enough information to get focused
help. It can be very hard for a non-technical person to know what to
include in a post to a tech support newsgroup. Here is a link that will
help you with that - http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

Hi,
I will try to give a guess.

Goto Windows Task Manager and see under Processes tab. Do you see any
running instances of msimn.exe. Kill all instances. Make sure you kill all
of them.

Then launch Outlook Express again. I hope it will work then.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
