Steve,
Same OE message this morning. I checked the Task Mgr last
night after closing OE and MSIMN.EXE was not active, nor
was anything else running.

When you close OE, do a CTRL-SHIFT-ESC and check the processes and see if
MSIMN.EXE is still active. It shouldn't be.

Thanks Steve. If I had had anti-virus scanning of
I/O email, I would have shut that off before
posting my question, as your reference well points
out that the message store can get clobbered
rather easily by anti-virus software.

I do use a desktop shortcut to:
%windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -s -t 00
to close up shop for the day, so I'll try using the standard
Windows process via START -> Turn off computer,
etc. and see if the problem goes away.

I can't think of any 3rd party software that could be
interferring with OE shutting down.

Thanks for the tip.

Bill

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 Very often 3rd party programs
interfere.

Any explanation as to why I'm greeted each morning
with "Outlook Express did not shut down properly"?
I always close OE before shutting down the computer
for the night, either via "Close" in the task-bar or by
clicking on "X".
