Missing or Damaged System Files Cause Invalid Page Fault in Microsoft Outlook Express

Unlike other email clients and personal information managers, Microsoft Outlook Express does not store all your emails, contacts, notes, calendar items, and other objects in a single file. It creates a separate file, called DBX (Database eXtension) file for every folder, which is displayed in the list of 'Local Folders'. All these files are managed and controlled by a hidden Outlook Express folder, known as Store Folder. Under some situations, these data files of Microsoft Outlook Express get damaged due to internal or external errors and become totally unusable. This behavior causes serious data loss and calls for Outlook Express Recovery.

Along with the data folders and Outlook Express items, the application might also start behaving strangely and may not start, after corruption. In such cases, you may encounter any of the below error messages, when you attempt to start Microsoft Outlook Express application:

“Outlook Express could not be started. It may not be installed correctly. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory. Contact Microsoft support for further assistance. (0x800c012e)Outlook Express could not be started because Msoe.dll could not be initialized. Outlook Express may not be installed correctly.”

Or

“MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module Msoe.dll at address.”

Furthermore, you may not be able to see the messages properly. You may get errors, which indicates folder or file corruption.

Cause

You may face these kind of errors if either of the following conditions are true:

· All the DBX files of Microsoft Outlook Express application are set to read-only.

· All the SBX folders of Microsoft Outlook Express application are damaged.

Resolution

In order to sort out this behavior, you need to check the Outlook Express attributes first. Check their properties and uncheck the read-only check box.

If it does not fix the problem, use updated backup to restore data from and perform DBX Recovery. If the backup is either not updated or not available, you have to Recover Outlook Express data using third-party applications.

The DBX Repair tools are capable of systematically scanning the entire DBX file using powerful scanning algorithms and extracting all damaged and inaccessible data from it. With simple graphical user interface and read-only behavior, the software are easy and safe to use.

Outlook Express Recovery software repairs and restores damaged emails, notes, contacts, tasks, journals, calendar items, and more. The software works in all cases of DBX file corruption. It is usable with Microsoft Outlook Express 6.x and 5.x.
