Does anybody know how to retrieve OE files without opening
OE? My OE has crashed and, among others, I have lost the address book. TIA |

Retrieving OE files
Your address book is a file with a WAB extension. The backup file should have
a WA~ extension but if you are suing OE6 and have installed all patches due to a bug in one of those patches the backup address book file is called ~, that's a tilde, just the one character. Your Outlook Express Message Store is the folder containing numerous files with a DBX extension including Inbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx, etc. What exactly are the problems you are having with Outlook Express? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Tom Shaw wrote: Does anybody know how to retrieve OE files without opening OE?

Retrieving OE files
Thanks for the response I will check those files out. To
answer your question: When I try to launch OE I get a message that the application was not able to create the Internet Account Manager. When I OK that message I get another which says OE could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized and that OE might not be installed correctly. I obtained the IE CD and uninstalled and reinstalled IE which is supposed to contain OE but the problem persists. -----Original Message----- Your address book is a file with a WAB extension.

Retrieving OE files
Most common reason for the error messages "Outlook Express could not be
started because Msoe.dll could not be initialized" and "Outlook Express could not be started. The application was unable to start the Internet Account Manager." when attempting to start Outlook Express is due to missing or corrupted information in the Outlook Express Identities registry key. For more details see KB 245419 - "OLEXP: You Receive an Error Message or Are Unable to Start Outlook Express" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=245419). Check this KB as it explains how to remedy this error. Other possibilities, although less likely include: MS KB 296512 - "OLEXP: Error Message: Outlook Express Could Not Be Started Because Msoe.dll Could Not Be Loaded" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=296512) where the problem is due to problems with the Address Book. MS KB 272265 - "OLEXP: Error Message "Outlook Express Could Not Be Started Because MSOE.DLL Could Not Be Loaded" When You Start Outlook Express" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272265) where the problem is caused by mixed file versions MS KB 232480 - "OLEXP: Error Message: Outlook Express Could Not Be Started Because MSOE.DLL Could Not Be Loaded" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=232480) where the problem, similar to the one above, is due to uninstalling a later version of IE/OE. --?

I posted the URLs to each of the various articles in my previous message and
you included them in your reply. All that you need do is use them. :-) For example to read Knowledge Base article KB 245419 - "OLEXP: You Receive an Error Message or Are Unable to Start Outlook Express" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=245419) all you need do is click the URL, that's the string starting http://.... If the web interface you are using to access these newsgroups is so lame as to not launch the requisite article, it should, then copy the URL into your browser address bar and then launch the site. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Tom Shaw wrote: Thanks again for the prompt response and the detailed suggestions.

Please ignore my previous response. I took a short cut in
trying to enter your urls manually and managed to get an extra word in. They now work perfectly and I will try to get my OE fixed. Again much thanks for your attention and advice. -----Original Message----- I posted the URLs to each of the various articles in my previous message and you included them in your reply.

I'm sorry but that really makes no sense. Each of the four URLs I posted when pasted into a browser, IE, Netscape, Opera or whatever, should open up the associated Knowledge Base article. May I suggest you reboot and try again. Much thanx for the info. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP |

Thanks for posting back Tom. I had checked that each of those URLs worked
before I posted which I why I couldn't understand your comment saying that they did not work. Here's hoping that KB245419 will help you fix your problem.
