Re: Admin verses Limited Account In Outlook Express

I am still having the same problem with Outlook Express on the limited
account. I cannot open messages. I cannot create a new message. And I cannot
open the address book. But as I said before, if I give the limited account
administrator priviledges everything works fine. But I sure do not want to
leave it that way.

Anyway, I have Widows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2.

I downloaded and installed 6 software updates at Microsoft Updates. There
are no more updates of any type available for my computer.

I would say that the default Main Identity for the limited User profile is
correct because when I went into Outlook Express under identities that is the
only identiy out of three that I set up for this limited user where it would
not allow me to remove this identity. When I looked at the identify I was
logged on to the limited users account. I hope that is what you meant.
Correct?

I also checked out the other 2 links in your post and everything is set up
correctly.

WinXP Pro or Home?

Is the Limited User Profile's OE identity the default Main Identity (OE File > Identities > Manage identities)?

Is the machine fully up-to-date at Windows Update?

I just got a brand new HP PC and I was trying to set up my Email. One Email
addy is for my Admin user account and one for my Limited user account.

Everything is ok in my Admin Account. However, I cannot open my address
book in my Limited account nor can I open any email messages. The email
messages are downloaded but you cannot open them. It says it may not be
configued propery and to reload.

I have been looking at other messages on this forum and other people are
having the same problem. However, I do not have that patch that there seems
to be a problem with on my new computer so there is nothing for me to
uninstall.

Just for the sake of argument, I decided to see what happens when I change
the limited user account to an administrator privedged account.

And guess what Outlook Express has no problem. So I think that there may be
a bug.
I specifically set up this account as limited because I wanted to surf the
internet safely. But if I change it back to a limited account then Outlook
Express will not let me open my messages or allow me to send messages. Not
access my address book without errors.

Any suggestions.
