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? -- cup of soup Thanks You. |

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. -- cup of soup Thanks You.
