I was going to suggest that. Be aware that if you disable messenger you might make outlook express startup very slowly. It did my head in because I didn't link disabling messenger with my outlook problem till someone here put me onto it. The fix for the resultant outlook problem has been posted on this forum. I'll see if I can find it.

re: Outlook Express Hangs for about a minute
This is what you need to do, basically its caused by diasabling windows messenger The fix for OE is simple. Here is the reason and the fix. Sometimes removing or disabling Windows (or MSN) Messenger causes OE to open slowly. This will be shown by an entry in the system error log: The server {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. To fix this, open Regedit and navigate to this key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \CLSID \{FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541} \InProcServer32 In the right-hand pane, double-click on the (Default) value and delete whatever is entered there, leaving it blank. Click OK. Now perform exactly the same step with the key directly underneath, namely HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \CLSID \{FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541} \LocalServer32 Once both (Default) values are empty, OE will open normally.
