If I have been sending messages through one of my Outlook
Express identities and then I want to switch identities,
Outlook Express hangs-up and I cannot even start-up the
Outlook program again until I reboot the PC. So I am
having to reboot the PC every time I switch identies. Any
thoughts ?

I don't have to reboot each time I switch identities, but
frequently enough that it hangs when switching then I need
to reboot.

Are you using windows xp?
 
Thanks for your response. Yes, I am using Windows XP. I
have now found a way around this problem - I just don't
use the "switch identities" option but instead I "exit
and logoff" from one user and then logon as the next
user. Then I don't get the problem.
