Default Outlook express could not be started

I have a new Dell Dimension, XP Media Center Edition. I use Outlook Express
6.0 to read my email from my DSL provider. OE works fine the first time I
get in and use it (after reboot); sometimes works fine a second time too.
However, when I try to get in the third time, I double click the icon and it
does nothing. When I do ctl-alt-del, it shows msimn.exe still running, even
though I closed it. When I right-click to
run via my shortcut, or via the start menu, I get the following error:
"Outlook
express could not be started because your computer is low on system
resources.
Most likely the problem is your computer is low on memory or unstable". I am
using OE version 6.00.2900.2180.

I've done my system updates. No viruses found either. I found this problem
on google, but MS didn't mention it.

Also, I can't click on 'mail here' links on Internet Explorer, because Outlook
Express won't open. When I end process msimn.exe, I can get back into Outlook
Express, can use 'mail here' links on the net, etc.

Why isn't OE shutting down? Please help!
