Outlook Express keeps disappearing
I was listening to your ABC program the other day, and you were helping someone who could not open Outlook Express. Now. lo and behold, I cannot either. The blue box “Outlook Express 6″ appears on the screen, then disappears to the small icon at the bottom of the page. When clicked, it just gets bigger then goes back into the bar, and Outlook Express will not open at all. Can you help me please?
This is an irritating little problem with a simple solution.
Open Outlook Express, on the taskbar across the bottom of the screen, right click on the Outlook Express box and the click “Maximize”. Outlook Express will then reappear.
There seems to be a bug in OE where some emails force it into minimising. Outlook Express then remembers these settings for subsequent restarts.

hi there, i have a problem with outlook. Evertime i open it up the whole page disappears in a second. Try it again and again and everytime it disappears, i don’t even have a second to click on something. i used to click on inbox or whatever i could get to in a hurry as otherwise it would disappear if i didn’t get to something, but now it disappears immediately…HELP Please. Kind regards, Chris.

I had the same problem with Outlook and I just fixed it by right-clicking on the icon and unchecking “hide when minimized.”
