shutting down OE

Question

After shutting down Outlook Express, and then trying to shut down the computer, I get a message about OE not having shut down properly . . .. If I hit "End Now" then Windows will shut down, and computer shut down. If not, it hangs there forever. What do I do?

TIA!

Are you using an antivirus program set to scan all incoming email? If so, disable the email scanning. You will still be protected against opening or saving infected files if your scanner is resident in the background.

Also, if you have Background Compacting turned on in OE > Tools > Options > Maintenance > turn that off to see if it helps.
Then Compact your message store manually See here

I am having the same problem except the error message says, End Program--Sample. What the heck is 'Sample?'
