25033 2001-11-20 21:50:00 I think my computer is in trouble, but does anyone have any ideas why, and how I can fix it up?

Outlook wont load as its telling me I dont have outlook express loaded. Outlook express WILL load with no errors.

Add/remove programs list is EMPTY. (made me *gasp*)

Internet Explorer throws me errors here n there, some about needed to download something to be able to view a page (when I cancel I can view the page anyway) and some about it causing an illegal error and needing to close down - but then it doesn't close down.

Any ideas? I realise it all seems to be related to IE but does anyone recognise the problem here?

25034 2001-11-20 22:37:00 Can't think of anything for the first problem. The problem with IE asking you to d/l certain things is quite normal. It's usually either a language support (ie other than english) or some display support. And, yes, I found that clicking cancel usually displays the page correctly. Makes you wonder......? Guest (0)
25035 2001-11-20 23:04:00 Thanks Ian, it is normal in small amounts, but not on almost every 3rd page I've loaded since yesterday. They all seem to be display related - one I remember was asking for BASIC.

It appears IE is dying, but other things are crashing around the edges too.

I tried repairing office and it 'ended prematurely because of an error'

I have Windows ME on a duron 800 with office 2000 if that helps anyone.
it was last reformatted and refreshed less than a month ago so really I shouldn't be having silly problems like this just yet!
