SysFader error fixed

I had problem opening OE 6 yesterday. The OE 6 simple popup a message:
"SysFader:msimn.exe memory cannot be read..." and other crap. I searched on
the internet and user groups. People have had this problem for a couple of
years. But no certain fix. And microsoft doesn't have a cure either.

What I then did was actually no fancy at all. I went to microsoft site and
found a "Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1
(KB837009)" and installed it and it's fixed.

I have no way of knowing if this would fix the problem but I know
overwriting the existing OE is worth trying. So guys, don't forget the old
rules when you have problem: 1. Restart and 2. Re-install

A quick search entering: SysFader:msimn.exe memory cannot be read,
led to this:

HTML spam emails) STOP PRESS ... STOP PRESS ... SysFader: Msimn.exe -

{Don't update to SP2 yet, it's still Beta}.

The patch you downloaded was available April 13th.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Others will learn.
