OE store file may be damaged...

[ghgsupport]

I have encountered this error once in the past, but cannot recall what was used to resolve it.

"Outlook Express store file may be damaged"

In the error box it suggests running scandisk to resolve the issue. In this specific case, scandisk is giving illegal operation errors when it is run. I have advised to client to attempt booting to safe mode and then running scandisk. No word on that yet..

Are there any other solutions to this error other than deleting dbx files?

W95 you have 3 choices . With W98 , if you have IE5.1 or higher & you
still have IE4 installed the following applies . No IE4 only 2 choices .
IE5.5 if over the top of 5.1 , offers 3 choices .

You can install IE5.1 straight over 4 . A big feature with IE5 is that
it can be repaired without uninstalling . Here is how to do it . Open
Control Panel , Add / Remove , click on Microsoft Internet Explorer ,
then click on add / remove down the bottom . This opens a window with
3 choices .

Choice 1. Add , insert your IE5 install program & you can find other
items you may not have installed 1st time .

Choice 2. Repair , fixes problems that may crop up with IE5 / Outlook

Choice 3. If unfixable , removes IE5 & goes back to IE4 , now if you
want to you can reinstall IE5 or a later version or another browser
altogether .

No Microsoft Internet Explorer in Control Panel !
