Outlook Express Not Responding
in [Outlook Express]
|
From: Platinum Endless Events on 20 Jun 2010 01:28 My Outlook is not responding at all. I click on the icon and nothing. It was working yesterday and I am not sure what is going on. I have noticed over the past few days, I see a pop up of the log in box appears first. I closed the window and it works fine but today nothing is taking place.....any suggestions? This is a business email so I need immediate access to it. "Bruce Hagen" wrote: > Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become > corrupted.

From: Bruce Hagen on 20 Jun 2010 09:22 Outlook, or Outlook Express? They are not the same program. If OE, start here. When OE crashes or won't start http://www.insideoe.com/problems/errors.htm#crash (Hint: For better assistance, always start your own new thread instead of hijacking an old one that isn't even on the MS news server any longer). -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Platinum Endless Events" <PlatinumEndlessEvents(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C50C91F2-3B84-4B46-9FC5-BBFA8A813DF5(a)microsoft.com... > My Outlook is not responding at all.
