"Could not be loaded" does not mean that the file missing, it means that
some error occurred at the point the OE was trying to load the file.

I reinstalled WXP Pro, successfully but when opening OE 6, I
encountered an
error message box saying the MSOE.dll was not found. OE and address
book
will not open. I can't find information pertaining to this specific
problem
although I do see info for upgrading from OE 4 & 5 to 6 which does not
pertain in this case.
I reinstalled WXP over the previous installation. All programs are in
place
and functioning except for Outlook Express and the address book. IE
works
fine. Firewall and Symantic AV programs are functioning fine. I used
the
resource CD to reinstall. Perhaps the reinstallation was not
successful for
OE. Not sure on how to proceed.
Any answer is welcome.
