Give us more info...operating system, has it ever worked OK, have you done anything recently installing or uninstalling, etc. Then check back and we will see whether we can help.
Good luck

Looks lile MSNIMN (Microsoft's messenger service) is causing a memory conflict. Try removing it from add/remove progs. in controlpanel..and re-installing it
..Also Try removing outlook express and re-installing it. You can download it from Microsoft.

I agree with answer #2. But you could also download the newest version of Outlook Express 6 and that may correct the problem.
The #2 answer will work but wouldn't hurt to have OE6 on the system.

I've even upgraded to I.E6.0 and O.E6.0 and still faced the same problem.
Somemore I had upgraded my Msn Messenger to 4.6 which is integrated with my O.E.
Pls advise.
