Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / January 2005Stationary
When I try to select a stationary to use it send me back to the desktop what would cause this to happen. Jay Describe your problem step by step. Where are you selecting the Stationery? By sending you back to the desk top do you mean that Outlook Express closes (crashes)? Do you see any indication of Outlook Express as a button on the task bar? Do you get any error message? What version of Outlook Express are you using? If in doubt, look at Help, About Outlook Express.. Are you using Win98 as this newsgroup suggests?

Jay By the task bar button, I meant the one that appears on the task bar when you open a program and goes away when you close it. I wanted to verify that the program is actually closing instead of just getting minimized. If it just got minimized the button would remain. I am curious why your button on the quick launch menu (next to the start button) doesn't work and wonder if that might be related to your problem. Right click that button a look at the properties. The target should generally be: "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" Also do the same for the desktop icon that does work. The 2 should be the same. One thing that comes to mind is if you made the desk top icon by moving the MSIMN.EXE program to the desk top rather than creating a short cut. That would break the quick launch short cut (as well as other things) from working. In Tools, Options, Compose, have you selected a default stationery for Mail? If not, does that work? I take it your problem occurs when you are composing an HTML format message and select Format, Apply Stationery.

Jay I'm not sure what you mean by "outlookexpress closes all the way down to the desktop like you are trying to open an html page". IF you mean that when you click a link in OE, it opens a web page, OE is still running. It's just that the web page opened in an IE browser in front of OE. You can get back to OE by clicking on the rectangular button on the task bar, or by using Alt/Tab (Hold down the ALT key while pressing the TAB key to cycle through each open program. Setting a default stationery could tell if the issue is some corrupted stationery files. You might be better served in a Stationery specific newsgroup. All the stationery groups have migrated to a private server on microsoft.com The private server can be accessed using the following settings in a new news account: Server: privatenews.microsoft.com Account Name: privatenews\stationery Password: stationery Or you can access some stationery newsgroups via the web: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft. public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress.stationery SignatureMike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm >> By the task bar button, I meant the one that appears on the task bar when you open a >> program and goes away when you close it.
