From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/directdb.htm

Errors in DIRECTDB.DLL or MSOE.DLL generally indicate corruption in the
message store. Start by moving Folders.dbx to an empty Windows folder.
You
will lose your folder hierarchy and the lists of newsgroups on the news
servers, but it might get you into OE.

If that doesn't do it then move all of the DBX files to the same folder
as
Folders.dbx. You should now get into OE. Try importing the messages from
the
folder you moved the DBX files to. If you can't, you can use this tool
to
extract the messages:

DBXtract ($5):

Note: It can take a long time (days with really large folders).

The messages can then be dragged from the Windows folder back into a
folder
in an open instance of OE.

Outlook Express specific NG.
