The instructions follow, but what make you feel it is necessary? Maybe it
isn't.

How to Reinstall or Repair IE6 and OE6:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378

Although written for WinXP, it works for all Windows operating systems 98 or
newer.

If you are using WinXP/SP2, and it was not already on your computer from the
factory, you will have to remove SP2 first.

How to remove SP2:

What problem do you think reinstalling OE would resolve, Edward?

Normally problems with OE have to do with the registry or message store. OE
when it fails to start (due to such corruption) gives the stupid messages
that there might not be enough disk space or OE might not be installed
correctly.

99% of the time this is cow dung.

If OE won't start, then its likely the folders.dbx file (hidden) is corrupt
and needs to be deleted.

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7
