Outlook Express problems - possibly "version soup"
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 problems remain. No obvious problems shown by Belarc. Not clear in what software the Win Me pros think I have "version soup". Roger |

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 Create a folder named "Old uninstall". Go to folder C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall Information. 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.

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 opening this message. An error has occurred." Uninstall/reinstall didn't help so I still have that problem.

Hi Zee
That was the total text of the message. Sadly repair didn't work. However I am now getting the error "The Address Book failed to load. Outlook Express is incorrectly configured, please re-install" followed by "there was an error opening this message. An error has occurred."

Roger, Backup your address book by copying the *.WAB file to some safe place. Uninstall the Address Book in: Control Panel Add/Remove Programs Windows Setup tab untick Address Book Apply OK and reboot. Test OE without the Address Book. Is it working? If yes, reinstall the Address Book and test again. If not, uninstall OE, reboot, reinstall OE and test without the Address Book. If OK, reinstall the Address Book and test again. If these steps don't solve the problem, I believe you should try the OE specific NG where people should be able to help you on this issue: microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general Good luck, Zee "Roger" wrote in message ...

Roger, Quick add-on to my previous post. If you need to uninstall OE, make sure you reboot and delete the folder C:\Programs Files\Outlook Express Also search your system for other Outlook Express entries and delete them before rebooting and reinstalling OE. And before doing this, it may be safe to create a fresh Restore point just to be sure you will be able to undo it if necessary (we never know and better safe than sorry).
