This is an OE catchall error message that is completely false in its
information. Normally all that is required is to delete folders.dbx.
If you moved all the files out of the message store directory and OE still
won't start, then the problem is more serious. I would run System file
checker
SFC /scannow
and see if that detects any problems. If that doesn't fix the situation,
give the other things you have tried, then I would backup the Identities key
in the registry and then delete it completely. OE should create and
populate a new one when it starts (if it will start then).

Please help. OE6 doesn't start because "msoe.dll" isn't found.
It is there and all dbx are archive-not-read-only and I tried everything
visable on usenet, including installation of Internet Explorer 7. Hoped
that the last action would install e new OE-6 or OE-7.
Any solution?
I work on a PC XP-SP3
Please...

OE6 is the last version of OE and is part of IE6 so IE7 would make no
difference.
Start here.
When OE crashes or won't start:

Thank you for trying. This article is from a stone-age, I presume. Even
Windows 98 and 98 SE are named.
To follow that article, which I did:
1) my disc is not full
2) Outlook Express could not be started because Msoe.dll could not be
initialized. Outlook Express may not be installed correctly
This is very true, but there is no given we to reinstall OE
3) When OE crashes or won't start: Close OE. Wisdom, this is
4) Clear the checkbox for the Read-only attribute. There is/was no
Read-only attribute set.
5) If Outlook Express will not start, move the *.dbx files from your
store folder and into a new empty folder
I did. For back-up purposes. Tried also to clear the lot as OE
should repair itself, but still the same error: msoe.dll not found
6) If you still cannot start OE, your Identity in the registry is
probably damaged.
Download the Force Identity Logon script.- Run the script to access
the Identities Manager.- Create a new Identity, then switch to it when
prompted.
I created a new account. Tried to start OE there, same Error. I
suppose the registry of the new account should be without demaged lines.
To get as deep as suggested into the registry is to much for me. I learned
to live with a bad short-term memory, but for this one has to understand
and remember what has been done and why... Do you think the registry
causes the problem?
Any other sugestions? Is there a way to re-install Outlook Express? Can I
download this, besides the IE7 I installed on advise of some kind person,
who tried to help also?
