Re: OE troubles with XP2

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Once you get Outlook Express to open, use this technique to make one of them the default:

File, Identities, Manage Identities is where you set the default
identity. At the bottom of the dialog is a drop down box to select the
identity and a check box to make it the default. If you do not see that choice, then I'd suspect that some upgrade you installed with an antivirus product running in the background may have corrupted your install. Could that be a possibility in this case?

Hi there, I have installed SP2 on my laptop running XP Home Edition and now I
am having an "Identity Login" problem.
To start; I click the icon for Outlook Express, but before entering the
email, I get the following window:
Identity Login
There is no current identity.

Select your identity name below. To add or modify an
identity,
click 'Manage Identities'
In the window, there are 2 identities, A and B. I must click on either of
these to enter OE. Under this window is the Password command box, under that
is two buttons that show 'Log Off Identity' and 'Manage Identities'. There is
no default "Main Identity".
When I click the 'Manage Identies' button, I get another window that shows 2
identities, A and B. Under this window is a check box for which identity to
start the program with and I have this checked, along with identity Bas the
one to start. Under this is another command box and this box has identity B
as the one to open with when a program cannot ask.....
So I think I have this set right. The two identities are separate accounts,
that's working right, but I cannot go directly into either one as neither one
is the default login. I have gone to the microsoft support
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209169) and explored all I could on this
issue, and have not come up with any fix. Any help would certainly be
appreciated.
Thanks
