Error 4359 launching outlook express.

Mac os 9.2.2
I was running illustrator 10 when I tried to open Outlook express.
Then I got an error message that said there was an error while opening the
program error number (4359)
I tried taking all extra fonts out of the system fonts folder and trashed the preference folder, and rebooted with extensions off. Then ran techtools on it.
Still get the same error message.
What else can i try?

Becky, welcome to Apple Discussions.
This text is from the link I provided above.
4359 = "Unexpected end of file" / "Memory is full" / "An unknown error 4359 occurred"
Description: These errors can occur if there is damage to an element of the identity that is used to start Outlook Express.
Solution: The most common cause of the error messages is a damaged preferences file for the currently selected identity. This preferences file stores the settings for the accounts and other settings for the identity. The default location for identities is: Drive: Documents: Microsoft User Data: Identities. NOTE: Your installation may be in a different path than the default path.
To rebuild the identity preferences file:
1. Quit Outlook Express if Outlook Express is currently running. Locate the preferences file in the currently active identity.
2. Place the preferences file in the Trash.
3. Start Outlook Express again. The Setup Assistant rebuilds the account for this identity.
FYI - The OE preference file , named Preferences file, to Trash is located in each of your OE/Identies folders
If Trashing the above preference files does not fix your problem, there is another OE preference file, named Outlook Express Prefs, located in the System/Preferences folder. Trash this one also.
Cheers, Tom

    Hi, tsam -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    That error is often returned when one or more of OE's databases gets too full.
    Try compacting the databases in OE. This function is a built-in one, and can be done before the program actually loads. To do that, with OE not running hold down the Option key while opening OE.
    • If you're opening OE directly, hold Option down while double-clicking OE's icon.
    • If you're opening OE via the Mail icon in IE's toolbar, hold down Option while clicking that icon.
    You'll receive a splash message asking if you want to compact the databases - click OK. Once that is done, you can get rid of the old database files (they'll have been renamed to indicate that they are the old ones).
    OE keeps those files in its account (identity) folder(s). If you're not familiar with where those are -
    • Current versions of OE keep them here - (hard drive ) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities >> Main Identity.
    • Older versions of OE kept those in the Identities folder inside the program's folder.
    "Main Identity" is the original default account (identity = account); if you've created additional accounts, there will be a separate folder for each in the Identities folder.
    It would also be advisable to increase the Preferred memory allocation for OE. Adding 20 or 30 thousand to the original amount is not excessive - more is better.
    Article #18278 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
    • Whenever you replace or update a program, you must redo any changes made to its memory allocation amounts - the changes are not carried over to a new or replacement version.
    Also, when you update OE or IE, particularly if you have both the old version and the new version on the drive at the same time, reset the default choices for those in the Internet control panel.

  • Error when launching Logic Express

    I just got a new (mid 2011) iMac and can't run Logic Express. It ran fine on my MBP, but when I try to launch I get the message: An error occurred while trying to open "Logic Express" /Applications/Logic Express.app.
    Trashing and reinstalling didn't help. Any advice?

    Never mind. Turns out my original software update hadn't brought Logic up to the latest version. Works great now.

  • Outlook Express Won't Launch/Freezes Computer?

    I have a 5 yr old G4, running OS 9.1, Outlook Express 5.0.2
    When I try to launch OE, the computer freezes (altho the cursor moves around, it can't do anything). The computer makes a sound of 4 drawn-out clicks (rasps) followed by 2-3 shorter ones. Then a an error message of Type 1 appears. The same thing had been happening with Simple Text for a couple of years (altho that said "Error of Type 113"), but we never really use it so it doesn't matter. I tried to open "Apple System Profiler" and the same thing happened today. Everything else seems to be working fine. Any thoughts, suggestions, help????
    Thanks.

    Hi, Rodney -
    With regard to Outlook Express, try this -
    1) Increase its Preferred memory allocation; adding 20 or 30 thousand, or even more, to its original Preferred amount is not excessive.
    Article #18278 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
    2) Then compact its database files. To do that, hold down the Option key while launching Outlook Express. A screen should appear offering to compact the database files - okay that, and follow the prompts.
    Re Apple System Profiler, try increasing its Preferred memory allocation - doubling the original Preferred amount should suffice.
    Re simpleText, increasing its Preferred memory allocation may also help. Note, though, that SimpleText has a finite limit of how large a file it can handle - 32MB. Any file larger than that, even if in SimpleText format, will not be openable by SimpleText.
    One solution for that which many folk have gone to is to use a replacement program. One such is SimpleEdit.
    The computer makes a sound of 4 drawn-out clicks (rasps) followed by 2-3 shorter ones.
    That can be worrisome. It can indicate the OS is finding it difficult to open a file needed by the program; an overly full drive; damage to the disk directory; or, worst case, physical damage to the drive, such as one or more bad blocks.
    • Difficulty in opening a file can be caused by the file having become damaged. This is not unusual particularly with preference files, and the solution for those is usually to throw away the appropriate preference file, then restart the machine. The next time a call is placed to use that prefs file a new one will be created with default settings.
    The prefs file used by Apple System Profiler can be found 'loose' in the Preferences folder (in System Folder); its name is ASP Preferences.
    Outlook Express uses at least two prefs files. One is named Outlook Express Prefs and is located loose in the Preferences folder. The other is named simply Preferences, and can be found in the account folder for the user account. OE 5 places that here - (hard drive) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities >> Main Identitiy >> Preferences. If you have created additional acccounts, there will be a separate folder for each in the Identities folder, each with its own Preferences file.
    SimpleText has no prefs file.
    • A too-full drive can result in extensive fragmentation of files, giving Finder a lot of grief when it tries to pull one together; it can also lead to erratic Finder behavior, including crashes and other events.
    It is good practice to not let a drive get more than about 80 to 85% full; leaving the remainder unused allows room for files to grow normally, for Virtual Memory to use without incident, and for temporary files (such as are created during a printing operation).
    • Damage to the disk directory can best be checked for by booting the Mac to the most recent OS 9 Install CD available (one valid for that model), and running Disk First Aid from the Utilities folder on the CD. Although DFA is somewhat limited in what it can fix, its diagnostics are excellent.
    If DFA finds somethig it can not fix, it would be time to use a stronger utility, one such as Alsoft's DiskWarrior or Micromat's TechTool Pro.
    • Physical Damage to the hard drive is more difficult to diagnose and fix.
    If it is bad blocks, that can usually be fixed by doing a deep (zero-all-data) re-initialization of the drive, reformatting it as Mac OS Extended in the process. Once the re-initialization is completed, run the Test Disk item in Drive Setup's Function menu - doing so should map out any bad blocks.
    Using Drive Setup
    Note - re-initializing and reformatting a drive will erase it, so be sure your data has been backed up before doing that.
    • If your drive was last formatted using Drive Setup on an OS 9.0.4 or earlier Install (or Restore) CD, that version of Drive Setup had a defect that could leave a drive vulnerable to incurring a wrapper error. The versions of Drive Setup that come on OS 9.1 and later Install CDs do not have that defect.
    The version of Disk First Aid that comes with OS 9.1 and later install CDs can sometimes repair a wrapper error.
    Alsoft's DiskWarrior (v. 2.x or later) can definitely repair a wrapper error. Note that the current versions of DiskWarrior (v. 3.x) boot to OSX - they have no problem repairing OS 9 volumes, but the machine should be OSX-ready before booting to that disk. If the latter is not the case, look for a v. 2.1 or v. 2.1.1 version of DiskWarrior.

  • Corrupted Address Book in Outlook Express

    My father's note running XP, has suddenly decided that the address book in outlook express (ie6)is corrupt and it must be re-installed. I have looked around the web and this seems to be a fairly common problem, however the correction of
    this seems fairly complex, surely Microsoft must have come up with a quick fix to this problem, especially as it seems of their making, what with faulty updates and the complexity of outlook and outlook express.
    Please does anyone have a simple resolution to this problem, that we both can understand.
    Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to reply.

    Try to recover it manually. Or re-install your OE. Open Outlook Express from where the application is stored on your computer, then attempt to duplicate the error or problem you were previously experiencing. If
    you are still experiencing problems, proceed with the following steps to reinstall Internet Explorer. 
    http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/microsoft/microsoft-aa/outlook-express/616-emails-and-address-book-are-gone
    Go to the "Microsoft Support" website provided to you in the Sources section of this article, then scroll down to the section entitled "Method 2: Reinstall Internet Explorer."
    Click on the appropriate link for Internet Explorer based on the version of Windows you are running. For example, if you have a 32-bit Windows Vista computer, you will be required to
    download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista.
    Click on the "Download" box after you have been redirected to the appropriate Microsoft webpage for your version of Internet Explorer. A dialog box will then appear prompting
    you to proceed with the download.
    Launch Outlook Express from its location on your computer and try to duplicate the actions that previously caused errors. Outlook Express should now work successfully without presenting
    any issues or errors.

  • Outlook Express Disk is Full

    Periodically I get an error message in Outlook Express that says I can't download mail because the disk is full. I've cleaned out all the old email, but I still can download mail. Is there any way to increase the size of the space for outlook express? Any other solutions I should try?
    Thanks!

    Quit all your Microsoft Applications.
    Hold down the OPTION key as you launch OE.
    Compact the database. Once completed, throw out the files prefixed with "old" in the MS Users folder.
    try that.
    Zap the PRAM on reboot as well.

  • Outlook Express Address Book: Exporting to iMac

    What is the best, and easiest, way to get the information in my OE Address book into my just-purchased iMac. The old PC is still running and the iMac is yet to be plugged in. If there is doubt in anyone's mind, my talents lie elsewhere. Any guidance is appreciated and needed.

    To export contact information from OE on the PC to CSV format, try this:
    1. Launch Outlook Express on the PC.
    2. From the File menu, click Export, and then click Address Book.
    3. Click Text File (Comma Separated Values), and then click Export.
    4. Click Browse.
    5. Choose or create a folder in which to save the file.
    6. In the File Name box, type "addresses", and then click Save.
    7. Click Next.
    8. Click to select the check boxes for the fields that you want to export, and then click Finish.
    9. Click OK and then click Close.
    10. Transfer the file from the PC to the Mac.
    To Import the file into the Mac OS X Address Book:
    1. Launch Address Book on the Mac.
    2. From the File menu choose Import.
    3. Choose the format of the exported file from the submenu. In this case choose "Text file," which is appropriate for either a tab-delimited or CSV file.
    4. Select the file that contains the exported addresses.
    5. Use the pop-up menus in the Text File Import dialog that appears to specify how to import the data. The first line in the file contains labels, so check the "Ignore first card" checkbox.
    6. Use the left and right arrows to see different records in the file you're importing. This will let you determine how to set the popup menus. If you don't want to import a field, set the popup menu to "Do not import."
    7. To set the popup menus for address fields, choose the type of address (home, work, or other) in the pop-up menu next to the first item of the address. Then use the address popup menus that appear to choose the corresponding data for each address field.
    To transfer emails, you'll need to work with Entourage as a middleman, which you probably have as part of a 30 day trial of Office 2008 on the new iMac, but this is what you do:
    1. On your PC, run Outlook Express ("OE") and select all messages in your Inbox folder (Control-A), and drag and drop all of the selected messages to an empty folder named Inbox on your PC Desktop.
    Verify that the number of files inside that new folder you created matches the number of msgs in your OE Inbox (right-click on the Inbox icon in OE and select Properties to get that number). The exported files are ".eml" files which have the header and body of the message, in plain text format.
    Do the same for messages in your Sent mailbox.
    2. Transfer those new folders to your Mac, whether by Ethernet or CD-RW, USB drive or whatever way you choose.
    3. Launch Entourage; create a new subfolder folder of "On My Computer." In Mac OS, select all the .eml files which came from OE "Inbox" and drag and drop them into this new subfolder in Entourage (the cursor will show a + sign if Entourage allows you to do the drop. This may take awhile to complete, depending on how many messages you're transferring; Entourage, or Mac OS, may not respond for a few minutes. You'll have to do this for "Sent" and any other OE folders, but not now; you need to do these one folder set at a time.
    4. Create an Entourage Mail View that excludes all folders, including the one new subfolder you just creeated. For Criteria, set Match "if all criteria are met," "Folder Is Not Inbox," "Folder Is Not Outbox," etc.). What you're trying to do is identify the messages just imported and consolidate them in one view listing. Check the view for errors. Sort it by date and scroll through from the start to end to check if the topmost and bottommost messages have either empty dates or today's date and time in it. If there are such messages, these are errors and you can correct or delete them.
    When all the messages look good to you, or if you choose to just delete the ones with errors, make sure Entourage is finished populating the view, then select and drag and drop the Mail View folder (the view icon, not the messages) to your Desktop. This will create a ".mbox" file on your Desktop with the name of the view.
    You can now create separate mbox files for your OE "Sent" and other folders; however, you must delete the new subfolder you previously created in Entourage, empty the deleted items folder and start over with a new Entourage subfolder before doing each drop -- otherwise the view will pick up messages from previous drop(s).
    5. Import the Entourage .mbox file(s) using Apple Mail. In Apple Mail, select File -> Import Mailboxes, select Standard mbox files and point it to the folder with your .mbox file(s). Ensure each .mbox file is checked. After clicking ">>", Mail will start importing one message at a time.
    Be sure to check the number of messages imported into Apple Mail (shown when the mailbox is opened in Mail) -- the number should match the number of .eml files fed into Entourage. If it doesn't match, a common error is the Entourage Mail View wasn't populated completely when it was exported to mbox; start over with the import into Entourage and make sure the view is finished populating. Another error is the From/To error mentioned above; if you chose to just delete the bad messages, the numbers won't match exactly. Also, make sure the deleted items folder is emptied between each drop to avoid duplicate messages.

  • Outlook Express and Netscape/Default e-mail account

    I have recently replaced my Internet Explorer with Netscape 7.02. When I send an e-mail from a website on Netscape, it prompts me to set up a new account to send the e-mail. IE always launched Outlook Express when I sent an e-mail from a website. Outlook Express is designated as my default e-mail account in Control Panels. Netscape support has been of no help. Can I get Netscape to go to my Outlook Express to send e-mails from websites or must I use the e-mail application that comes with the Netscape?

    Greg,
    Trouble is that having changed mine to OE a longtime ago I'm not sure that what I see is what you see.
    Having gone to about:config do you see network.protocol-handler.external.mailto if you scroll down? I do, but that may be because I have changed already.
    If you do see it control-click on it and a drop down menu will come up in which you choose New > Boolean. Having chosen that enter network.protocol-handler.external.mailto when prompted then follow the instructions in the link I gave.
    If you don't see it (and it sounds as though you don't) just control-click anywhere on the page and do the same.
    Sorry I can't be more precise, it's ages since I did mine.

  • Outlook express/Error occurred while launching. The end of file was reached

    I can't get to my e-mail screen because this error message appears and won't
    let me access outlook express after my classic enviroment 9 has loaded up.

    David,
    No solutipn yet, but I'm still hopeful. However, I would appreciate your comments on the following:
    1. I still could not open Outlook Express, even after rebuilding the desktop--twice--and downloading it again. However, I just noticed that you recommended the use of a OS 9 CD, not a download. I'll look around for the CD if you feel that's the only way to go. Is it?
    2. When I downloaded the OS 9 Outlook Express, the window said to copy it to my Hard disk. I assume that means just to drag the Outlook Express icon to the top of the Hard Disk icon. Is that correct?
    3. If all else fails, what about those programs that have been around for years that facilitate the retrieval of otherwise lost files. Would such a program be helpful in this case? If so, can you mention a few of them? I want to retain some of those files, even if it means having to spend a hundred dollars or so for the necessary software.
    4. Yes, such mishaps can indeed be painful. Fortunately, although I am a bit of a fumble-fingers, the problems I have encountered since I bought my set in 1999 as the result of such clumsiness have been few. It looks like I've been lucky, but that I am paying for it now.

  • I need to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs and I either don't have it but when I try to send an e-mail on Outlook Express, it won't go through and gives me an error report.....I really need to be able to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs. Help!

    When I try to apply for job and when I try to e-mail my resume' and Outlook Express comes up to reply to on, I put in my information, etc but when I hit send, it doesn't go through and says? POP and then error report and doesn't go through.

    I can't provide a solution with or without the error message, but without an error message, you are making everyone guess at what you see. I have no idea what you see, and I think someone who might be able to help you solve your problem would need to know what that message says. Is "Outlook Express" (Windows Live Mail) your default email processor, if not what is?

  • Error 0x80007114 "Outlook Express could not be started" when trying to run Migration Assitant.

    Trying to run Migration Assistant on a PC (Windows XP).  Error message "Outlook Express could not be started.  The application was unable to initialize the store directory.  Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full. Contact Microsoft support for further assistance. (0x80007114)"  Then the Migration Assistant shows a box stating that Outlook Express must be stopped before running the assistant. 
    I have enough memory.  The disk is not full.  Outlook Express runs just fine on my PC.  And it was not runing at the time.
    Apple Support (two tries) and my Apple store have essentially said this is a Microsoft problem.  Of course, Microsoft says it is an Apple program failing so it is an Apple problem.
    MS info about the error indicates that it prevents OE from starting.  Than is not my situation at all.  The fix is draconian (as many are) and could risk my OE so I have not gone there - yet.  Hopefully there is another way.
    Does anyone have any experience on how to (easily) solve this dilemma.  I am also trying on the MS side. 
    This is my first MAC.  I was convinced to go Apple by several folks who touted the excellent support.  It was purchased in July 2012 and has been a boat anchor since.  Support??
    Thanks for any info you can provide.

    So I had this as well.
    I went to the file tab and went to export. From there I picked 720p and it worked. It may be different for you depending on the resolution of the video. hopefully it works for you too!

  • Sync error message about mail client - using Outlook Express, wants Outlook

    I keep getting a message that "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client"
    Outlook Express IS set as my default mail client, both on my computer and on the iTunes screen.
    I use Calendar on the iPhone, but do not have sync requested on iTunes for this function.
    I do have Outlook on my computer, but do not use it (don't need calendar function at home, but do like to have it on my iPhone since I carry it with me)

    I'm having a similar problem. "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client." (iTunes 7.6.1.9)
    I sync my contacts with Yahoo! (not Outlook).
    I was syncing my calendar with Outlook. This was working just fine, but when I started to get the error above, I have tried turning off the calendar sync. No help there.
    I am not syncing any email accounts via iTunes.
    Anyone have any suggestions? Given that I'm not syncing with Outlook I don't understand the error. Thunderbird is my default mail client and I shouldn't have to change the system defaults to work around this bug.

  • Href="Outlook:Inbox" does not launch outlook in windows 7 when in Firefox. User gets some sort of protocol error

    I have an application with a link to launch outlook. Client has upgraded to windows 7 and the link no longer works and produces a protocol error of some sort.

    Using "Outlook" as a protocol is no longer support, not even in Internet Explorer (under Windows 7), as far as I know.

  • One way sync from Outlook Express gets Unable to read application data error

    I have a BB Flip, 8220, and am trying to use Outlook Express as my Contacts organizer.  I have started Outlook express "vanilla" and only have one records in Outlook Express.  I have 34 records in my BB Contacts.  When I run synchronize (and again, I am trying to do this one way, from Express to BB) I get the error "Unable to read application data", "Processing Device Address Book", "Record 34 of 34 Records".
    I have read many of the threads.  I have checked the RIM.log file and it says one way sync.  Any clues on how to fix this?  I am on Desktop 4.6, do I need to upgrade to 4.7?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I fixed the problem.  What I did was run a Backup using the desktop mgr software, I then ran a restore, but I used the Advanced option so that I could open the ipd backup file and then select just the contacts database and push that from my computer to the device (using the right arrow copy button in the middle of the Advanced window thingy).  I then reran the Sync and it WORKED!
    Doing the backup and restore must have fixed the corrupted record on my phone.  Wonderful.  I was nervous, but it worked jst fine.
