msimn.exe is the file that launches Outlook Express. Something has become corrupted.

Run scandisk, you probably have some bad sectors on your hard drive. If you do, then make sure that you run it regularly, because while you can damage spots now and then w/o any other places being affected, chances are the problems are only going to grow and you'll need to replace the hd sooner or later anyway.
