when i try to open outlook an error msg comes up - cannot
locate file MSOE.DLL. when i went to start, find,
folder/files and searched for it i found it. how can i
fix the problem please help.
 
If you're using XP, it should be in the Documents and Settings\User Name\My
Documents\Outlook Express. This implies that it associates with the user
who's logged into the system. Are you logging in as User Name in the above
example? If not, that's why it can't find it. Further help is available in
MSOE.TXT in the same sub-directory.

Good Luck!
 
Ignore my prior email - except for searching for the MSOE.TXT file which
provides additional information.

I jumped the gun before letting the search complete. It's also in C:\I386
and C:\Program Files\Outlook Express, and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DLLCACHE. In
fact, a search for MSOE.DLL turned up 15 files - though the rest are merely
references - mostly in INF files. What's most bizarre is that I only opened
it once by mistake - and use Outlook 2000 most of the time.
 
yes i know where it is i can find it, but how do i make my
computer find it when im trying to open outlook?

Make sure it's in C:\I386, C:\Program Files\Outlook Express. If it isn't,
then copy it to both locations and reboot. If that still doesn't work,
reinstall OE.
 
Oh, and by the way, make sure you use the most recent version to replace the
"obsolete" ones in each location. Chances are one is more recent than the
others.
