There is a link in a web page that when clicked should open Outlook
Express.
Instead, it apparently opens OUTLOOK, and then pops up an error that
OUTLOOK.EXE has encountered a problem...

I do not use OUTLOOK, never have. How did it get there? What's
wrong?

Links do not open any specific application. They specify a protocol
and whatever client is assigned to that protocol gets opened. You
have Outlook designated as the MAPI client so that is what opens when
you click on a mailto:// link (you never bothered to specify what
protocol was specified in the link that you choose not to provide an
example).
