Hi, everytime I try to start up Outlook Express a message comes up stating there are other programs running in the background. There won't be any other software running but Windows software. I have Blue Yonder installed on my pc and many other web links, documents and don't really want to format my whole HD. HELP!

Mmmm, Run Clean Disk, Defrag, then chkdsk/f
this should rule out a bunch of possible system issues...

Windows XP monitors the programs you use and regularly rearranges files so that your most frequently used applications can be loaded quickly. This process is known as prefetching. There are various adjustments that you can make to this by adjusting your system settings or tweaking the registry, but most are of negligible benefit: the single best thing you can do is defragmenting the prefetch data, so it will run more efficiently.
Click Start > Run and type “defrag c: -b”. Press [Enter] and your boot files will be optimised for you.

Most of the Outlook Express error messages are due to problems with the internet connection, not the software on your computer.

Open your task manager and see what it says is running. Then close each one. You might need to run an Ad-aware or Spybot scan too.

Try running a virus scan - you may find that you have other items running that you don't want on your computer.
