Hello, I have XP, IntExp 6, and Outlook Exp 6.
I can not open Outlook Exp. It is supposed to open on startup, but I get
this message: "The application has failed to start because MFC71.DLL was not
found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I looked for
outlook exp to download but can not find it. I don't know how to Re-install
any other way. XP came on this new computer, without a CD. I do have a CD
for XP upgrade from Win 98 from my old computer. Can one just re-install part
of that CD?
If I try to open from the start menu, I get this error: "This file does not
have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an
association in the folder options control panel."
The icon at the bottom left (? taskbar) changed itself from the OExp icon,
and now opens the accessability wizzard.
What did I do to bring this on? Well the computer started to run very slow.
I tried virus cleaning and malware, disc cleanup, defrag, etc. No help.
Then someone told me to do a registry cleaner and erase duplicate files.
That made all this happen, I think the erase dup files part did it.
(it turns out that leftover junk from McAfee trial software that came on
this new computer 6 months ago was the real problem with the slowness. After
3 levels of upgraded help they gave me some super uninstaller and the
slowness disappeared.)
So now I am in this fix and have been reading help notes and knowledge base
for a week without any progress.
I would hate to loose what email was in OutExp. Is it already gone?
Being well out of my teens, I am not a high tech wiz. So will some kind
soul out there please help me, in simple terms.
Thank You
