Advice Needed Outlook Express 6

[RayWhite]

I use Outlook Express 6 with Win XP. Never been a problem but suddenly today when I try to launch OE I get an error message saying that the file is missing and giving error code 0x80004005,1400
I have searched for a solution but no joy.
Run anti virus etc. All ok. Any suggestions welcome.

Problem now solved.

Glad you managed to sort it.

How did you fix it?

[RayWhite]

Copied all .dbx files to a new folder on my desktop.
Shut down and restarted the computer.
Opened Outlook Express. (It opened)
Imported the .dbx files back into it.
All fixed.
I have no idea why it went wrong or why the above fix worked.

not sure if you've come across this before

Backs up and restores your outlook files. Found it while I was re building my laptop :)

I've used it for a while, good but it only backs up the email folders. It does not backup email account info, contacts, calendar and the like. I sync them with my phone which acts just like a backup :smilie:

You can synchronise Contacts, calender & Tasks with Webmail too.
