Thanks again for all your help . :)	boss62 (12024)
555116	2007-06-01 10:11:00	That error code looks like its also having a prob with the licence (www.mcse.ms) on that computer. Try the above fix see if it fixes it.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
555117	2007-06-02 11:52:00	Me again:waughh: I did a system restore to see if I could fix my outlook express problem . . . . when that didn't work i restored back to today . Now, however, I can only open half my programs and the desktop is very unstable . Cannot open control panel at all . When I try and open IE it asks me what program I want to use to open it . I had also defraged the computer before restoring . I have avast listed in my programs on the start up menu, however nothing is in the file . Cannot open system restore, it comes up empty . Can anyone help???:dogeye:	boss62 (12024)
555118	2007-06-02 19:40:00	Have you tried a non destructive repair using the Windows XP CD I have used that a number of times in the past and found it often will cure it . BUT Backup any vital data files first . . Things like Address Book, My Documents folder, Favorites, OE DBX files etc etc etc Of course this is the last resort :dogeye:	Tony.br (4018)

So, how is he meant to get whats in the address book etc?? If he has to open OE. I would just re-install IE 6 SP1 or 7, or whatever version is already installed. That may fix it. Wouldnt that include whatever for OE??	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Highly likely it may, but problems like that sometimes indicate a greater problem. Another thought came to mind that I would try SFC (System file checker) START > and enter "SFC /scannow" without the quotes As to saving Address book.. First open my computer > tools > folder options > View then change the setting to "show hidden files and folders" and untick "Hide extensions for known file types" Use Windows Explorer to goto... documents and settings > "whatever user name is" > application data > microsoft > address book save the files in that folder To save Emails Use Windows Explorer to goto... documents and settings > "whatever user name is" > local settings > identities and burrow dont the levels to find OUTLOOK EXPRESS and save all the DBX and other files in that folder I do exactly that along with other important data on a daily basis using a Batch File that I wrote.

555122	2007-06-03 00:52:00	Hi guys, Thanks so much for all your suggestions . . . however I cannot open anything other than word, excel ect . When I try and open 'My Computer' the desktop loses all icons and then comes back to desktop . Same with any other system icons I try to open . Haven't got the XP cd, so will take it back to the guy who I bought it off and get him to have a look at it . Again, thanks and will let you know the outcome of it all . BTW . . . I'm a girl!!
