WLM 'should' import the emails from the dbx files, if the dbx files are not
corrupted.

I'm helping a friend whose PC is running Win XP Home. She did not do a
proper powerdown/powerup,
got a blue screen on reboot, ran dskchk (with option to fix errors) and
could not run OE 6 because msimn.exe is missing.

Her dbx files seem to be OK. We need to reinstall Outlook Express. I've
looked around with Google for suggestions for this
and finding a variety of suggestions - some talk about reinstalling SP2,
other IE6. Some involve registry changes. Isn't there some way to do this
in a straightforward, simple way?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Would installing Windows Live Mail go out and find and install the dbx
files when it is installed?

Many thanks -- Sam
