Outlook Express on Win 98 PC

Feb 24, 2004 6:08AM PST

Upon starting Outlook express something happens in the background but the application does not start and gives no error/warning as to the probable cause.

Any suggestions where to start?

Regards,
ML.

What does the blue notice tell you?

All your mails are simply in .dbx files on your hard disk. Waiting for you to solve this problem and read them again.
