For months now I have been receiving the following message EVERY TIME I start Outlook 
Express.  If I close the message box Outlook closes as well.  I'm still able to send 
and receive e-mail, but have to keep the following message box open in order to do 
so.  I have reported the error many times with no results.  Here is the message:

Outlook Express has encountered a problem and needs to close.

AppName: msimn.exe	 AppVer: 6.0.2600.0	 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.114	 Offset: 0000b13b

Any thoughts?

re: Outlook Express error upon start up. UGH! Thursday, October 9, 2003 at 11:12 am Posted by Jack Gulley (5917 messages posted) Check the system for Virus, Spyware, Adware and Trojans and remove. Clean up work files and remove un needed programs. See: Windows ME Fixes for things to do. Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and locate the "Microsoft Internet Explorer......" line, select it and click Add/Remove button. On the option panel, select the Repair IE option. This will repair IE and OL it it has been updated. If no joy, the REMOVE OutLook Express and the reinstall it. Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, and click the Windows Update tab. Locate the OutLook Express line and UN-check it. Click Apply and OK. When done, go back in and check the OutLook Express box, click Apply and then OK again. Then do the IE Repair thing again and reboot. [Reply or follow-up to this message] I have XP not ME Friday, October 10, 2003 at 6:13 am Posted by Venera (2 messages posted) Thanks for your response. We recently switched to XP after a long and meaningful relationship with ME. Sorry. Could you direct me to any specific posts that could help me with XP? I did download Spy Bot. Thank you for that bit of advice. Things are moving much faster now. It did not get rid of the huge "keenvalue" program that has been annoying me for months now, but after some digging I realized I could just delete the program manually. I would love to find out what those other programs are that run automatically upon start-up. I'm thinking there is some fat to be cut there as well, but I'm not savvy enough to know what's what.
