IE & OE are linked. I would try IE Repair for starters. Type the following in the Run box and hit Return to get the option (if available): rundll32.exe setupwbv.dll,IE5Maintenance DerekW

I found the following answer on the internet. on the following page http://www.generation.net/~hleboeuf/ermsimn.htm Err Msg: MSIMN Caused an Invalid Page Fault in Module DIRECTDB.DLL MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module DIRECTDB.DLL.

I noticed that the deleted items folders was about 1.2Mb in size. I emptied the folder and again tried to delete a message it worked!

Robb I'm a tad confused. Are you the original poster? DerekW

The Original message was by zeroout. The original message is labeled "Original Message" above it. You'll notice my message has "Response Number 2". I should have used quotes when referring to the outside message. I just copied and pasted it in it's entirety. Sorry for the confusion. I try and mind my manners next time.

Robb No problem, it's just that occasionally folk post back with a different name so I began to wonder. DerekW
