| 721940 | 2008-11-22 08:17:00 | Despite numerous attempts using various methods, I am unable to maintain Outlook Express as my default messaging program. I ask it to reset and it seems to do so but when checked again, it is not. I am using IE7. I need the default setting so I can email pictures from Picasa using Outlook Express. It only gives me the option of using Gmail, which I don't want to use. I did have Microsoft Outlook installed which gave me that option but I have since uninstalled that program in an attempt to make the system default to Outlook Express with no success. Any bright ideas please. |

| 721941 | 2008-11-22 08:30:00 | Have you tried Control panel>Add/Remove Programs>On left pane select "Program access and defaults">Click Custom>Select OE>Untick "Enable access to this program" for all the other ones>Click OK Cheers:D Blam |

| 721942 | 2008-11-22 21:53:00 | Tried that one. Under "Choose a default e-mail program", the only choice I have is "Use my current e-mail program". No mention of OE. Under "Choose a default instant messaging program", I have "Use my current instant messaging program" I don't use it anyway. Any other ideas |

| 721943 | 2008-11-22 21:59:00 | In OE go to Tools/Options Default messaging programs at the bottom - Click on Make default. |

| 721944 | 2008-11-22 23:04:00 | Thanks Safari. Tried all that standard stuff. It says it makes it default after clicking apply and OK but next time I check, it is back to "NOT default" There is something more complicated wrong, I'm afraid. |

| 721945 | 2008-11-23 01:12:00 | I am guessing you have a Gmail account? Have you tried going into the Gmail settings and see if there is a box to untick somewhere? It may be set as default and not letting OE save the change to default. Cheers LL |
