I beg to differ: "It" *will* and does work...if your Identity's files
(especially Folders.dbx) aren't damaged. But now you tell us of a further
error...

In Explorer, search for Folders.dbx and delete it.

On WindowsXP, the OE user files, including *.wab and *.dbx files, are by
default marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options |
View.

Hi,

It also says
Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.dll
could not be initialized. Outlook Express may not be
installed correctly

That error message is addressed here. The specific instructions for
re-creating the identities key works.
