Please help. OE6 doesn't start because "msoe.dll" isn't found.
It is there and all dbx are archive-not-read-only and I tried everything
visable on usenet, including installation of Internet Explorer 7. Hoped
that the last action would install e new OE-6 or OE-7.

Any solution?
I work on a PC XP-SP3
Please...

So sorry, just back from hospital. Will respond in a week

This is an OE catchall error message that is completely false in its
information. Normally all that is required is to delete folders.dbx.

If you moved all the files out of the message store directory and OE still
won't start, then the problem is more serious. I would run System file
checker

SFC /scannow


This could have found some problems, but not when having a disk with XP-SP1
while SP3 with many updates are on the computer.
Thank you for trying

Did you try all of the suggestions at
http://www.insideoe.com/problems/errors.htm#crash? (They're as valid
today as they were 4+ years ago.)

The caveats I posted were to help you avoid this problem in the future.

It was all about defects in the dbx-files and there is not the problem.
All i wanted to do and asked for is to re-install OE-6 but MS made that
impossible.

Forget it, that works only if one ore more dbases are corrupt.
As I wrote, I needed to re-install OE. So first I installed IE-7 and hoped
OE-6 was also replaced. No luck
My solution at last:
Uninstalled OE and IE from Configuration (Windows setup)
Deleted the complete OE-folder within Program Files (in safe mode). Than
erased manually every folder about IE or OE.
Re-installed XP-SP1 from Disk, with the sugestion "use only files from CD"
and that did the trick. So now SP-2, Windows update, SP3, Windows update and
it seems to work.
OE does, at least.

Thank you for helping, altough all remarks are about corrupt d-base files
and this was not the problem.

Regards

You went to a lot of work to generate new dbx files.
The only way that you could prove that it was not dbx files was to have
tried removing the dbx files before you did the reinstall.

Reinstalling OE will *not* resolve your problem.
