OE is closing on me

Running WIN XP Pro
OE 6.0
IE 7.0
Get this message when opening OE, this occurs while OE is downloading
messages:
Outlook Express has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Error signatu
AppName: msimn.exe
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180
AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180
Offset: 00001010
ModName: ntdll.dll

I can't figure how to stop this. It happens every time I open OE.
Can someone help?

TIA

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- WinXP SP2 only: 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. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages), it provides no additional protection,
and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

QP
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

Find Inbox.dbx for your IE6 profile and move it to a safe place. Move, not
copy.
How big was it?
Does OE work now?
