I've been trying to clean up my old iMac G3 before disposing df it. I've trashed all my personal files and with great difficulty got rid of all my old e-mails. However, now I want to open Outlook Express (5.02) to check there's nothing still there and get the message :-

An error occurred while launching. The end of the file was reached.

It's a bit academic if I"m passing it on. but am curious to know what that means and also want to check that all my old ,messages are wiped

Hi Dick,

This issue can occur if there is damage to an element of the identity that is used to start Outlook Express.

Once you are sure you have everything off the iMac G3 that you want to keep,
do as Murdoch Allen suggests .... Erase your HD and do a clean install.

That is the ONLY way you can be sure everything of you is erased!

Cheers,
Ronni
