OE6 switching identities
I have recently encountered a problem with outlook
express 6, when I try to switch to another identity the outlook express window does not appear and I can no longer access outlook express, I have to restart the computer before being able to access the program again. This does not happen every time I switch identities, and it does not seem to be when switching between any specific identities, as I have five different identities on this computer. |

OE6 switching identities
Q330994/April-03 and Q837009/April-04 Cumulative Patches for Outlook Express
(which you you prolly have installed) both contain a bug causing the problem you and many others are having. Until this bug is addressed by the OE Team, we're advised to always leave an Identity via FileExit and Logoff Identity and not use FileSwitch Identities. Others have found the Force Identity Logon, which essentially does the same thing, works for them: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/tips/forceid.htm. If one of your Identities is the default 'Main Identity', which is much more prone to such problems, you could try replacing it with a new Named Identity (FileIdentitiesAdd new identity) in hopes of finding more reliability. Import messages from the old Identity before deleting it (FileIdentitiesManage Identities). -- HTH - Please Reply to This Thread ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE), AH-VSOP AumHa Forums http://forum.aumha.org Protect Your PC http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect Samg wrote: I have recently encountered a problem with outlook express 6, when I try to switch to another identity the outlook express window does not appear and I can no longer access outlook express, I have to restart the computer before being able to access the program again.
