Pissed Another OE whodunit?

Gentlemen; I was following the other post on this because I have the same problem. OE has encountered a problem and must close before it opens. If you play with it long enough and go through this about 8 or 10 times, you might be able to get it open. This is a pentium 4, 3.2 gb, with windows XP Pro with all the latest updates. I have 2 spyware programs, a registry cleaner, and great anti virus (NOD 32) I have tried most everything you suggested in the other post, but no real difference. I don't think you can uninstall and reinstall OE in XP as it says this really doesn't uninstall it at all, but anyhow, I did try that and it made no difference. This all just started about a month ago for no apparent reason. Possibly after the latest January update for XP. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing so far has made any difference. Sometimes it opens normally, and most times it doesn't! Help please? Thank you!

I did try that already, but it made no difference. Somewhere I read that this really doesn't remove it and reinstall it, but more or less just the use of it.
