"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

Then change the email to Outlook Express in internet Options as above.

OR - go Here (www.dougknox.com) and download the patch.

700007 2008-08-25 11:18:00 The problem you are experiencing can sometimes be a result of installing an older version of Microsoft Office or Works on your computer .

From your other post that speedy so nicely pointed to, without that it would have been :waughh:

Try this - re-registering Outlook Express as the default e-mail application by going to Start, Run, type cmd and hit Enter . At the command prompt, type in the following:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn . exe" /reg

Be sure and include the quotation marks .

Once you've done that, open up your Internet Options, - Open Internet Explorer .
Click the Tools menu and select Internet Options .
Click the Programs tab .
In the E-mail: field, select "Outlook Express" from the drop-down menu .
Click OK .
See Here for example ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/OE_Settings . jpg" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz)

Well thanks heaps . . .
That seems to have worked OK .
I went into IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs and I could set OE as the email program !!

Now when I go into OE Tools/Options/General - it says the OE is the default . . .

Many thanks .

That's exactly the info that I needed . . .
Keep up the good work
