multiple problems with outlook & outlook express
Whenever I open MS Outlook 2000 the first thing that always pops up is a message block telling me that c:/Windows...addins is not a valid addin and every time I exit out of it I get the illegal op. message. This doesn't seem to be a performance affecting problem but it's driving me nuts. Now for the Outlook express 5.0 problem..this IS a performance affecting problem! No matter how times I open up O. Ex. then close it., Windows will keep it active. If I open it and close it 20 times then do alt+ctrl+del it shows 20 copies of Mismn running. Ive tried reinstalling both programs but it hasn't helped.
Any suggestions?

by doing that it will stop the O/E app. from running but I have to do an "end task" for every copy that is shown in the "close program" window which has been as many as 12 copies220

Hmmm...sounds like a conflict between the two apps., which is understandable, given their "sharing ways," but if unistall/reinstall hasn't helped, I'm not sure what will long term. For the short term fix for O/E, I think I'd just close it via Ctrl/Alt/Del for now, and not even worry about the Close button in the app. Then, I think I'd post your original msg. over in Software Support/Windows __, or SS Other/Don't Know, and see what kind of response you get there...there are some software "specialists" over there that don't spend a lot of time in these model-specific areas, if that's not what they're using. At the same time, I think I'd visit the Microsoft Knowledge Base and see if they have any articles on this particular problem. I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but, even with some of the difficulties I've had with O/E, I must admit, that's a new one on me!
Good Luck!

What happens if you do a three finger salute, i.e., Ctrl-Alt-Del, which opens "Close Program" window, and close O/E there, by highlighting it and choosing "End Task?"
