Marlene, I just found this message of yours in the archives, thanks. Never saw it posted.
As a matter of fact, I just checked my "Message rules" and one was indeed invalid, I don't know what happened to it. It was a rule to move specific subjected email to a specific folder, and somehow the specific folder area was removed! I no longer subscribed to the list, but I fixed the rule anyway, then unchecked it. I also had about 35 other rules which were ALL for my ISP email thanks to BellSouth selling members' email addresses to spammers. I can now remove all of them since I started fwd'ing my ISP email through my web server's filters. Maybe this will help, thanks for the info. :-) -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) From: Marlene Coldwell Hi Clint, Any chance you are using message rules? Cut & Paste from http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/problems/errors.htm#badrules Invalid Message Rules errors: MSIMN caused an Invalid Page Fault in module unknown MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module MSOE.DLL at memory address MSIMN caused an Invalid Page Fault in module kernel32.dll These errors can occur if a message rule uses invalid logic. If the Criteria of the rule specifies a condition that can only be determined after the message body is downloaded, but the Action of the rule is "do not download" or "delete from server", the logical contradiction causes OE to crash. Conditions that require the message body to be downloaded are: Where the message body contains specific words Where the message is secure Where the message has an attachment If you include these conditions in a rule, you must not select either "do not download" or "delete from server". Good Luck, Marlene -------------------------------- I've wasted enough days trying to search for an answer to this problem. I can't find anything on it. About half the time when I close Outlook Express (OE), I get an error window. It's always a "Faulting application" and for msimm.exe which is OE. I can close out of the window and all is fine. I can reopen OE and all is fine. There are no crashes going on, just that error window. Sometimes when I reopen OE there is that message on the preview pane of where a message body should be stating OE was not correctly shut down and it may be the email message that did it, so it's not being showed: "Outlook Express did not shutdown correctly The last time you ran Outlook Express it did not exit correctly. In case this was due to a problem with the last message you were viewing, the message is not being shown." But, it's not the email message that's doing it since it of course changes by the minute. The Event Viewer (XP Pro) shows things such as the following: Faulting application msimn.exe, version 6.0.2800.1123, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00942fa9. Details Product: Windows Operating System ID: 1000 Source: Application Error Version: 5.2 Symbolic Name: ER_USERCRASH_LOG Message: Faulting application %1, version %2, faulting module %3, version %4, fault address 0x%5. Fault bucket 113515155 (or sometimes 112031885) Details Product: Windows Operating System ID: 1001 Source: Application Error Version: 5.2 Symbolic Name: DW_BUCKET_LOG Message: Fault bucket %1. The file appcompat.txt that's created during an error shows nothing of any use. It only shows file versions. This happens WITH OR WITHOUT SP1 for OE6 installed, so it's not update related. There are no other updates for OE 6 after the SP1 for OE6 is installed. ALL of my .dbx folders are ok as far as attributes go. They are not read only. The OE storage folder is not in the default location, but it hasn't been for years so that has nothing to do with it since this only started happening recently. I had the folder hidden (but all mail files inside were NOT hidden), and I changed the folder to non-hidden folder and that didn't help. I tried deleting the folders.dbx file and that didn't help. The SFC did not help. This problem has been going on with NEW INSTALLS, so I'm at a lost as to what could be doing it since it's never happened before on other XP Pro installs. I have also gotten the same type of faulting app type error when CLOSING the Event Viewer! They could be related. This is a 3.4ghz P4, dual-channel PC4000 @ DDR560 memory, and a WD740 10,000rpm SATA Raptor, so I'm wondering if this is somehow "too fast" when closing some XP apps??? I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I did an XP Restore yesterday using the integrated restore function and some files on my G partition (which is ONLY a STORAGE partition and NOT EVEN MONITORED by the system restore) were deleted!! Even stranger is the files it deleted were there LONG BEFORE that particular restore point was even created! -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
