How To Solve ' Error Signature Appname...' Outlook Express Error In Windows Xp?

Outlook Express can fail to start for several reasons

. These include corruption in OE identity, damage to Outlook Express installation, DBX files' damage and a third-party plug-in. When the problem roots from message store corruption, the results could be severe as it causes data inaccessibility in most of the cases. To resolve this behavior, you should check your latest backup to find if it is valid and complete. Such a backup can prove viable for restoring the required emails. However, in other cases, you will need to use DBX Repair solutions to repair the corrupted files.

Error signature AppName: msimn.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName:version.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offsetr:0000191c
