121736 2003-02-16 10:38:00 this may sound like a siily question but it will help me if I can get an answer.My question is this.Is microsoft express the old email programme that came with windows 95 before outllok express came along.and can you still get drivers for outllok express (I looked at the microsoft site and could not see any).And does anyone have these two programmes running on their computer?Thanks. kings (2729)
121737 2003-02-16 10:54:00 Hi. To my knowledge there wasn't a stand-alone programme called Express. Generally there seem to have been free "Express" versions of Microsoft's software - the two common one's Being Outlook Express and Frontpage Express.

You don't need drivers to run either application. Outlook Express comes attached to Internet Explorer, although if you're running Win 95 I can't recall if that was the case with older versions.

I think that there is an issue behind your questions that you haven't mentioned - eg have you lost Outlook Express, and need advise on how to get it running again? If you can give more detail about the problems and symtoms you're having, we may be able to assist better.

121739 2003-02-16 11:24:00 Here are a couple of sites that may give you some information.

This one gives a couple of sites that mention Microsoft Outlook.

click here (www.google.com)

This one gives details on how to set up e-mail in Microsoft Express or Outlook Express. (It takes you directly to one of the sites listed in the above link.)

Sorry, that should have read Microsoft Express, not Microsoft Outlook.

121741 2003-02-16 11:35:00 Sorry again, it seems that the second link is not working. I've checked it out and can't find what went wrong.

I will try the full one here, but in any case the first link will allow you to get there anyway.

Here's hoping.

121742 2003-02-16 11:38:00 Ok - it sounds like EXLL's replies are on the right track - it's likely that your Outlook Express has had it's settings changed somehow. I'd suggest going to your ISP's website to find the setup info, and re-set the info in your O/E.

If you find that difficult, then confirm your Operating System (is it in fact Windows95), and Internet Explorer version.
