Outlook Express, Multiple User Accts, Home Computer, CPU Maxes Out
The User Account's current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the
default Main Identity. Try one or more of the mail accounts in a new Named Identity... File | Identities | Add new identity Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File | Identities | Manage Identities). To avoid such corruption in futu - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items folder daily. - Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm - Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place. - Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application.

Outlook Express, Multiple User Accts, Home Computer, CPU Maxes
Hello PA Bear,
I don't think I can do this because I cannot open OE as a limited user period. I open it and it begins to open but what it does is pin my CPU to 90% + and when I close it, I receive a "non-responsive program message" and then I send the report to Microsoft. BUT I can open OE as the Admin User account and it works? What I understood from your response is that I have to open OE as a limited user, correct? Unfortunately, that's the problem, I cannot fully open OE as a limited user. Thanks for any further assistance or ideas! They are greatly appreciated by my family and myself.
