Vista installs IE7 - there is no way to run IE6 on it. Windows Mail is the
replacement for OE. Check Help, About and see for sure what version you are
using.

I just installed Vista Business yesterday. Now, I am unable to open Outlook
(I believe it's Outlook 2002). I get the following message:

Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Outlook requires Microsoft Outlook Express
4.01 or greater. You can install Outlook Express by running IE5Setup.exe
from
the IE5 folder located on your CD or through the Windows Update website."

I tried to run IE5Setup.exe, but I get a msg. that says a newer version is
installed, and then it terminates. I tried to revert back to IE6, but
there
is no IE7 option under Vista's new "Programs and Features" replacement of
Add/Remove Programs. I then attempted to roll back the update, but it does
not show that IE6 was even on my computer previously when I view my
updates
in Programs and Features. I tried to install the latest version of Outlook
Express, and I get the same mesage I got when I tried to install IE5
Setup.
