What is the exact message you get?

Is OE checked in Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components?

Any new programs added lately that *touch* OE?

Somehow outlook express says it's deleted everytime I bootup and asks me
is I
want to remove perferences. Then I can't run system file checker becasue
it
says I'm not using the right XP cd. I tried to restore at 2 different
points
but nothing works. I installed IE 7 hoping it would fix it and it didn't
either.

I need help with this becasue this is a pain at every bootup

Thanks
