OE6 and ME
I was wondering if this might be the case so I've been watching this thread.
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. microsoft.public.windowsme.general Via the web-interface: http://www.microsoft.com/communities...dowsme.general Via your newsreader: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...dowsme.general -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) guymaine wrote: 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.

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. Zee "guymaine" wrote in message ... Thanks to both of you.

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.

OE6 and ME
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! ;-) Zee "Mart" wrote in message ...

Whatever happened to Noel?
Don't really know. He hasn't been answering his mobile and he hasn't replied to a couple of letters I sent him around Christmas time. -- Mike Mart wrote: Sorry Robear, didn't see you on the list (do now!) g but thanks (and Zee) for endorsing my suggestion.
