Default How do I easily reinstall or fix Outlook Express 6?

I've had OE for years. I have Windows XP. I previously installed Office 2000
- then took the trial for Office 2003. I removed Outlook 2003, because the
system will not run both Outlook 2000 and 2003 at the same time. While in
Excel 2003, I ran REPAIR. Wrong move, Outlook 2003 came back AND Outlook
EXPRESS suffered damage. I cannot access the Address Book - corrupt - AND I
cannot open Compose Email.

Today, I UNinstalled (removed) Office 2000 AND Office 2003 (trial) And
installed Office 2003 Pro. Now I want my wonderful Outlook Express Fixed. I
read about fooling with the registry. EEE. I also exported ALL my OE files
to my new Office Outlook 2003 file for safe keeping, while I FIX Outlook
Express.

Is there an easy way to fix Outlook Express?

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.

Thank You Bruce for the info. I wanted to wait until my mind was clear & the
stars were aligned, before I started changing my registry.

I just opened a MS Game on CD. On the Taskbar (which normally is not
visible), there were several "new message" windows from Outlook Express. I
closed all but one, wrote myself a note, clicked address book, and A Pop Up
appeared "experienced difficulty, must close, loose work". In the lower
left hand corner of this pop up was a "box" with "Debug" - I clicked it. A
couple seconds passed - the window closed. I then went to Outlook Express,
clicked "write message" - it did, clicked "Address Book" and there it was.
I just tried it again, and it seems the stars were aligned just right, I
clicked the right box, and Outlook Express is back to its old self. Amazing.
