Newsgroup installation with Outlook

I installed Outlook 2003 and when I put the News button on the Toolbar I got
the Newsreader correctly only the first time. Subsequently I got this:

D:\Program Files\Common Files\SYSTEM\MSMAPI\1033

Obviously not the Newsreader.

The only fix I have at this time is to bring up Outlook Express and click on
the Newsreader.

Any Help???

To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the No
button.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
