Outlook Express use .dbx files. (Folders.dbx/Inbox.dbx/Offline.dbx)

They're located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\ _USERNAME_ \Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\ _{D28BEC46-EF94-4C0B-B06D-3587843810D2}_ \Microsoft\Outlook
Express

_USERNAME_ is your used id.
_{D28BEC46-EF94-4C0B-B06D-3587843810D2}_ will be different.

Copy the files out, then re-install Outlook Express (better still use
another email client).
Then copy the files back in.

If you go with another email client you should be able to import from
Outlook Express.

I'd suggest looking for tools to repair corrupted .PST files. I think it's
more common for your data to become corrupt than for the app itself.

I'm having issues at home with Outlook Express 6.0. All I know is that
when I tried to run it this weekend, it came up with the OE splash panel,
and then said it had issues and did I want to send a copy of the error
(which I did each time). The subsequent help panel was of no help.

I successfully accessed OE on Wednesday so something happened in between
(the PC w/WinXP SP2) because the PC was shutdown during that period. I
did
run an A-V scan (Trend Micro) and found nothing suspicious.

I was thinking that I might be able to just copy the program (msimn.exe)
from my work PC (we use Outlook 2007 here, not OE, but it did start up
here)
and replace the one on my home PC. Didn't know if this was a good idea or
if I also needed to copy some or all of the DLL's that are in the same
folder.

Not very informative, I know, but that's all MS told me. Any
help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
