I have xp home with ie7,sp2.The other day my outlook express program
came up and said it has been removed from my computer.I have
reinstalled windows sp2,ie6 and ie7,and did system restore also.And it
still won't come back.I use it for all my email accounts.Does anyone
have any suggestions on what I need to do now besides to do a recovery
on my pc which I suppose is my last resort.Thanks in advance for any
help

Go to C:\program files\outlook express with Windows Explorer and see if
there is a msimn.exe file there. If so click on it and see if OE starts.

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7 Try deleting folders.dbx (hidden) and see
if it works then.

Start he http://www.insideoe.com/problems/errors.htm#crash

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

Move all the dbx files out of the message store directory. And make sure
you disable email scanning of your antivirus software. See
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

See it that helps.
