Outlook Express Application Error at Exit

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi Everyone,

Each time I exit Outlook Express after reading new mail. I receive the
following message box:

"Msimn.exe - Application Error
The Instruction at '0x77f51d26' referred memory at '0x007f4764'. The memory
could not be written.
Click on OK to terminate the program."

Each time I click on OK the message disappears and everything seems normal
as I move on to whatever task I'm involved in. Should I be concerned other
than wanting to get rid of the messages? Please help.

Thank you,
Terry

Thank You; However; what's a video driver? 1 month ago I paid $1500 for this
and ten hours/day are spent trying to use it. I just deleted OE!
