Outlook Express, Multiple User Accts, Home Computer, CPU Maxes Out
Open OE, Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder.
Right click, Select All, Right click, Copy. Open a new message window, right click in the message area, Paste. You should have something similar to this: C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{E6FE2A32-A73D-4915-B144-46ACE62213EB}\Microsoft\Outlook Express Your long string of numbers and letters will be different. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Documents and Settings\*limited username*\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{different string of numbers and letters}\Microsoft\Outlook Express Move the dbx files out of the Outlook Express folder. Switch to the limited user and see if OE opens. -- Ron Sommer "chrisandaj" wrote in message ... Hello, I have my home computer running Windows XP and Outlook Express 6.0. Here's my problem. I have formed three user accounts on my computer, two limited accounts and one admin. account. When I try to use Outlook Express in my limited accounts, OE will not fully open up and freezes. I look at the task manager at this point and see that my CPU is maxed out-it's usually over 90% running "msimn.exe" which I know has something to do with OE. But when I run OE on my admin. account it works fine, even with the 3 identities I've formed for 3 different email accounts my ISP allows. http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread10656.html If you look up this link on this forum, this person has the exact same problem I'm having, but it's so old and the provided solutions are so full of high tech jargon, I wonder if there is an easier solution to the problem or maybe someone could "dumb" it down for me a bit? I would prefer not to lose the emails I already have, but if that's not in the cards, then I guess that's just how it goes. I've looked on this forum and haven't found a thread about this particular issue, but maybe I just missed it too. If the answer is somewhere I neglected to look, any directions would truly be appreciated and I apologize now if the directions are redundant. Thank you in advance and my step children thank you because they really want to use their own email addresses and I really don't like doing much as on the computer as an admin. because I've heard it can be dangerous. I'm really stumped. |
