Roger,

Any other text on the error message?

If uninstall/reinstall didn't help, I doubt a repair will, but worth =
trying anyway:

Add/Remove Programs highlight Microsoft Internet Explorer click =
Add/Remove select Repair Next OK.

Reboot when finished and test.

Many thanks for that Zee - IE and other items now installed.
However when I try to Create Mail in OE I still get "there was an =
error=20
opening this message. An error has occurred."
Uninstall/reinstall didn't help so I still have that problem.

If you see an error message similar to the "unable to install all =
components", try this:

Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View:
- Select "Show hidden files and folders", click Apply - OK
=20
Create a folder named "Old uninstall".

Go to folder C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall =

Now Edit - Select All - Cut all files.

Open "Old uninstall" folder and paste the files.

You will now be able to install all the troublesome components.

If everything works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall" =
folder
and the files you moved.

Good luck,

Previous dialogue in Outlook Express section.
I get "error opening message" and address book not found.
Followed through http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/reinME.htm
Win Me seems to update OK but incomplete install on IE, also OE =

remain.
No obvious problems shown by Belarc.
Not clear in what software the Win Me pros think I have "version =
soup".
