Mart,

It seems IE is on v. 6 but OE is on v. 5.

OE6 is part of the IE6 package, hence my belief that it will be possible to
"upgrade" to OE6 through the IE6 "Add a component" option.

But... will keep my fingers crossed!

Maine (and Zee),

I've not been following your original threads but did notice the mention
of WinMe and IE 5/6. *Perhaps* the following link to Noel Paton's
Crashfixpc link *might* also help.

Uninstalling and Reinstalling IE - In Windows ME

Good luck

Maine,

If you want OE6 back, try

Control Panel Add/Remove Programs double-click Microsoft Internet
Explorer seled "Add a component" tick Outlook Express Next
follow
the prompts and reboot when finished.

You may need internet acces to reinstall OE6.

Good luck.

It sounds like someone reinstalled WinME without having first
uninstalled
IE6, so do NOT attempt to reinstall/overinstall IE6! I'm
crossposting
this
reply to WinME General newsgroup. The experts there will be able to
assist
you in getting this sorted out.

Thank you very much! She'll appreciate the information. Funny thing
is,
she
has IE6, but OE5. Wonder how that happened? So what do she do,
install
IE6
again?

I hesitate to recommend IE7 'cause I'm having some problems with
it.

OE6 will work fine with ME. It is part of IE6, so that is what you
need
to
download.

Make sure OE is backed up first, just in case.

Is OE 6 compatible with ME? Have a friend with ME who is very
comfortable
with it, but I was wondering if she could update her ver. 5 to 6.
