Outlook Express - unable to use "look in" or "browse"

It could be a damaged identity. Create a new one, File | Identity | Add New
Identity, and test it. if all is well you can import your saved messages
from the old identity and delete it. If still no joy, post in the Outlook
Express newsgroup.

This ususally happens when the the folder that Outlook Express will open by
default has too many files in it. Normally you can just wait for about 15
mins to 1/2 hour it should start working again. Do that but find the
default folder that OEX is going to look in and clean it out. Then try it
again I bet the Browse "lookin" will pop right up.
