Outlook express 6 locking up

Every time I open OE6, either from IE7 or an outlook express icon on my
desktop, it acts like it is going to start, then displays my contact list in
the left corner, then hangs up and does nothing. I close it with the red x or
right click at the bottom and it says the program is not responding.. I hit
"end" and then restart it again and it opens up fine.. Go figure!!! Any
ideas???

Here's an idea: Find a group with OE in its title.

Ask elsewhere

As has been frequently pointwed out to our resident ****wit, OE is a
supplied part of Windows XP, so it is entirely correct to post here.
