When activating OE, I get a Store File error (half of the
time), suggesting I run Scan Disk, which I have done, and
it does not find any errors nor does it fix anything.

The Error Number is 0x800C0155.

Does anyone know if upgrading to IE 6.0 will fix this
problem?

This probably indicates corruption in the message store.
Start by moving Folders.dbx to an empty Windows folder (with OE closed).
Note: the DBX files are hidden in Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3. You will lose
your folder hierarchy and the lists of newsgroups on the news servers, but
it might get you into OE.

If that doesn't do it then move all of the DBX files to the same folder as
Folders.dbx (again with OE closed). You should now get into OE. Try
importing the messages from
the folder you moved the DBX files to. If you can't, you can use this tool
to extract the messages:

DBXtract (free):

Note: It can take a long time (days with really large folders).

The messages can then be dragged from the Windows folder back into a folder
in an open instance of OE.
