Very Computer

"Identity Switch Cancelled"

which pops up in the middle of the screen and I cannot
launch Outlook Express.

I have tried reinstalling IE6 and also deleting Microsoft
Outlook.

Any ideas please.

Thanks

Bruce

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:
