Shutting down OUTLOOK EXPRESS....???
What have I cocked up???? Please!
Everytime when I close down my computer having used Outlook Express I get the wee box telling me that OE FolderSync Window Class is still not answering, amd therefore I get no shut down withpout "end task"'s help...!
Just updated Norton etc, still no joy.
Any ideas please. Thanks.

The application "exe" file for OE is msimn.exe.
It is possible to have multiple instances of this file running. The usual symptom is that you cannot start OE because there is still a fragment running in the background.
After you've closed OE, do a "Ctrl/Alt/Del" and check whether msimn.exe is still running. If it is, "End Task" and see if the PC shuts down properly.
This is a simplistic long shot and may not solve the problem, but it may help diagnosis. I can't find any reference to the fault you describe; can you give us the exact wording of the error message and say what version of Windows and OE you are running?
