When I try deleting messages from OE 5.50 I recieve the following message.

"Msimn has caused and error in DIRECTRDB.DLL Msimn will now close."

"If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer."

Needles to say restarting does nothing to fix the problem. any help greatly appreciated.

I have 2 tips for your problem. Try them one by one.
First of all save you OE5 identity.(How ? activate hidden files, if you use Windows NT go to My computer -> Options-> View -> Show all files, and
save %systemroot%/Profiles/"username"/Aplication Data/ Identifies/{...}/Microsoft/Outlook Express)
1. Create a new identity (File-> Identities->Add new Identity) and import your messages from the previusly saved OE5 identity.
If this one doesn't work
2. Remove and reinstall your Outlook Express 5.5 and, create an identity and import your messages
