Mail button on IE Toolbar doesn't work

I installed IE6 SP1. Clicking Mail-->Read Mail on the IE toolbar has no
effect. However, I can get into Outlook Express 6 by clicking on the mail
icon on the Quick Launch toolbar.

When I click on Mail-->New Message on the IE toolbar, I get a dialog box
that asks me to and create a Profile; clicking on the 'New' button on that
dialog box brings up the 'Inbox Setup Wizard' dialog box. I don't know how
to deal with this setup - some of the questions I can't answer and there's no
Help available.

I never had to set up a Profile with an older version of IE. Does anyone
know what's wrong here? (I'm using Windows 98 - 1st editon).

Thank you
 
Go to Tools in the Menu bar. Select "internet options"
Then under the "programs" tab. Find out what program you have listed for
"E-mail".
Make sure it is set to your mail program.
 
If Richard's suggestion doesn't work, go to Start...Run and type in:

"c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe" /reg

Note: there is a space before /reg
Reboot and see if that helps.
