Any Way to "Repair" OEM Outlook Express??
I just re-installed Windows ME for the SECOND time in 6 weeks.
Something happened yesterday morning??!! Webshots' collections.html was corrupted --- got a good copy from backup. Outlook Express cleanup.log was corrupted. Renamed that and let it create a new one. When I boot the computer, it hangs after installing everything. No errors except that it runs out of memory. When I get the memory error, I kill Outlook Express and kill Explorer twice. Then it seems to work OK. Tried disabling startup group through MSCONFIG. Computer works fine. If I launch Outlook Express, still fine. After it checks the mail in 10 minutes, it hangs -- no errors. I suspect that there's something wrong with the Outlook Express installation. I ran a log. No errors. How can I repair or reinstall Outlook Express on an OEM installation?? Don't tell me I have to re-install the operating system again (PUHLEEZE!!) I have no registry errors -- ran 4 different registry repairers after I reinstalled. I run Ad-aware and Hotbot weekly. I run ScanDefrag nightly.. Thanks. Barb |

Any Way to "Repair" OEM Outlook Express??
Try:
Add/Remove Programs double-click Microsoft Internet Explorer select Repair click Next OK. Reboot when finished and test. Good luck. Zee "The Moose" wrote in message ups.com...

Barb- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks. I had already tried that before I posted. It ended up that I had to re-format and re-install anyway -- I got a system file error that I couldn't et past. Interestingly, when I installed this time, I didn't get the same errors in the registry that had be fixed as last time. There must have been something that didn't install correctly a couple of weeks ago. Thanks anyway. Barb |
