Outlook Express 6 and XP SP1
-
Ok, I just installed XP SP1 on a co-worker's machine and she is now unable to switch identities in Outlook Express 6. Has anyone XPerienced this? If so how did you fix it? Thanks. P.S. nothing at msdn.microsoft.com about it yet. -Sean ---- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. -- Albert Einstein.

Just picked this up in the newsgroups: There are currently two workarounds:
- Click on files/identities/manage identities and remove the checkmark in "Use this identity when starting a program". For more information, see Q329084[^] - "You Cannot Switch Identities in Outlook Express After You Install Windows XP SP1"
- Before changing identity, Press F1. The Outlook Express "Help" window will open (and leave it running in the background). Now click on FILE > SWITCH IDENTITY and select your other identity. Outlook Express will ask the question "Do you wish to keep the same connection". Answer "YES". It will go to the identity you select.
