My OE version is 6.00.2900.2180 (xpsp_sp2)Recently, in Outlook Express 6,
several times got messages asking if I wish to compress
email folders. Responded "No".(Probably a mistake!)
Subsequently, upon opening Outlook Express 6, saw error message:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program\Outlook Express\main.exe
abnormal program terminationSubsequently, the error message changed
slightly:Instead of "abnormal program termination", it said:"This
application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.Please contact the application's support team for more information."
If I click OK or AX (to close the message), Outlook Express closes.
In addition, I have lost all files in my Hotmail account.
I ran Anti-virus pigmy-no traces, SpySweeper found 3 cookies-eliminated,
AdAware-1
cookie, eliminated. Problem still occurs.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2, Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Suite,
Webroot Spy Sweeper.I have turned off Anti-virus email and webmail
scanning. Spw Sweeper is not scanning email.I tried manual folder
compaction (after all the above errors) but I get a message that the
folders are in use so I don't know if compaction ever happened.I installed
OE6 KB918766 also.
