With OE closed, locate Folders.dbx in the message store and delete it. Consequences of deleting Folders.dbx: http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#deldbx Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run. In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. If still no joy: Courtesy of MVP Frank Saunders [RIP] Errors in DIRECTDB.DLL or MSOE.DLL generally indicate corruption in the message store. Start by moving Folders.dbx to an empty Windows folder. You will lose your folder hierarchy and the lists of newsgroups on the news servers, but it might get you into OE. Note: The DBX file are hidden files in Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3. If that doesn't do it then move all of the DBX files to the same folder as Folders.dbx. You should now get into OE. Try importing the messages from the folder you moved the DBX files to. If you can't, you can use one of these tools to extract the messages: DBXtract: http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx DBXpress: {much faster for large files} http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx Note: It can take a long time (days with really large folders). The messages can then be dragged from the Windows folder back into a folder in an open instance of OE.

Did you try all of the suggestions at http://www.insideoe.com/problems/errors.htm#crash? (They're as valid today as they were 4+ years ago.) The caveats I posted were to help you avoid this problem in the future.
From: Steve Cochran on 8 Sep 2009 08:47 This is an OE catchall error message that is completely false in its information. Normally all that is required is to delete folders.dbx. If you moved all the files out of the message store directory and OE still won't start, then the problem is more serious. I would run System file checker SFC /scannow and see if that detects any problems. If that doesn't fix the situation, give the other things you have tried, then I would backup the Identities key in the registry and then delete it completely. OE should create and populate a new one when it starts (if it will start then). steve "Jan Smit" <Jan-Smit(a)invalid.nl> wrote in message news:ae68a$4aa4c11a$5354a75a$25114(a)cache120.multikabel.net... >> "Jan Smit" <Jan-Smit(a)invalid.nl> wrote in message >> news:7b299$4aa4069b$5354a75a$32085(a)cache120.multikabel.net... >>> Please help.
