Outlook Express problems? Several readers report problems with using Outlook Express in Mac OS 8.5. Dan Sinker found that Express would not even launch (precipitating a Type 2 error) if Word 98 was already open. David Stubblebine got a similar system crash - with a message that said: "The preference file could not be opened. An error has occurred (-199)." Deleting the Preferences file solved David's problem. This is probably not a Mac OS 8.5 specific problem.
