I must admit I tried searching a little but gave up. Seemed like looking for a needle in a haystack though.

I struck lucky with that type of error in Outlook Express about 3 or 4 days ago - apparently a corrupt "folders.dbx" file is all that is needed to crash OE on startup - fix is brilliant, you just delete the file, load OE again and a new one is created. I'm not even sure what it does - I thought deleteing the file would have lost me some folders and probably files but all was OK.

The worst part for me was that I had just re-installed Borland JBuilder and something else and recieved a message that an older file had been copied or something like that and assumed that was the problem and I decided to upgrade to IE6 thinking that would have any newer files needed but it still crashed.

As for JBuilder - looks like I needn't have re-installed that in the first place - seems it plays up if my latest AV software is running... Isn't computing fun?
