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.

"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.

Usually this error is due to corruption of the message store, which is
probably due to the fact you have Symantec programs installed. They work
fine, but OE doesn't with them installed. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
