Lost Outlook Icon and Files
 

Question

My IE7 was corrupted and getting the "cannot find (null)" error. I looked
up the error in this community and uninstalled and downloaded/installed IE7
again as suggested . When I restarted the computer there was a new outlook
exp. icon which when I clicked on it, would only open internet properties.
I found a thread on how to restore the icon (msimn.exe) , but when I use the
restored icon I get this error:
"Outlook Express cannot be started. The application was unable to create the
font cashe object (0x8007000E, 127)"
Can anyone help me find the original program .exe, or were the files lost
with the IE install?
Thanks...gary

Installing IE7 should not have installed or changed any Outlook Express
icon. The new icon you found sounds more like an IE icon.

For the error you are getting, see:

Well, I had enough sense to use system restore and got my email back with
everything intact. Obviously the original files are around somewhere or they
would be gone when I restored, I just cannot get to them.

Again I got the (null) error, so I exported and saved everything in OE I
cared about.

I uninstalled IE7, reinstalled from Microsoft Update. After install, again
my email program disappeared. My original icon is there this time, but again
when I click on it, I get the internet properties window.
I do not have the "Outlook Express cannot be started, application was unable
to create the font cashe object (0x8007000E, 127)" error message because I
did not try to restore the shortcut (msimn.exe). This time the icon was the
same as my old one. but still, I have no files or application with my old
icon. Apparrently the missing icon had nothing to do with my problem,
I can use system restore again and get OE back. But if I do, I am sure I
will get the (null) error along with. Then the IE7 uninstall reinstall will
kill it again.
I recently had a problem with a very nasty worm. I cleaned the worm after
weeks of work and at that time the email was fine. I reinstalled my
registered Pro version of Windows XP after cleaning and some little crap I
was having problems with went away. I am still testing clean, but this could
have something to do with the problem.
I really hate to format after working for weeks removing the worm and
finally getting everything working again
Is it possible to download IE6 somewhere and try that?

I also checked the properties of the OE icon on my desktop and the
shortcut key has no target in it.
If I had an idea where the original file I need to open was located, maybe I
could restore?

Thanks...gary

When you uninstall IE7, you should have IE6.
Does OE work when you have IE6?

Did you do a repair install of XP or a complete install?

Several programs included IE6. TurboTax did.

Hi Ron,
After the IE7 uninstall, no web pages would open. I am not uninstalled at
this time so I cannot tell you what was returned by the computer when I tried.
I did what was called an "upgrade" by XP when I did the install. The repair
option was not available. Also, this was done with a "slipstreamed" XP SP3
version as all I possess is an original copy of xp pro.
There has been some real quirky things go wrong with XP since I finally
killed the worm, I may have to format to get rid of all the problems, but I
am not looking forward to it.
Thanks...gary

I also looked in the program files/outlook express folder and msimn.exe is
not in the file. I guess if I do not have an executable, I wont be able to
open.
Any way of getting this back and deposting it in the OE folder?

I believe that an upgrade install just builds on the Registry.
Your problems are not going to be solved until you do a clean install.
