Problem starting OE6

Recently, OE6 has developed problems. Almost every time I try to start it, I
get the message "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.DLL
could not be loaded."

The only solution to this that I have found is to completely reinstall IE6 -
which is a pain. This allows me to start OE6 and deal with email but then,
next time I try to start it, I get the same problem.

Help please!!!

dear gerry,

To resolve this issue, remove Outlook Express 5, and then
reinstall Outlook Express 4.x:

Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.

Double-click to expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder,
expand the Software folder, and then expand the Microsoft
folder.

Double-click to expand the Windows folder, expand the
CurrentVersion folder, and then expand the Setup folder.

Double-click to expand the Migration folder, and click the
100 value.

On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.

Quit Registry Editor.

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.

Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

Click the Install/Uninstall tab, click to select the
Microsoft Outlook Express 5 check box, and then click
Add/Remove.

When you receive the following message, click Yes:
Uninstall requires at least Internet Explorer 5 to work
correctly. If you continue, setup may not be able to
restore the previous version of this application. Do you
want to continue?

Click Yes to continue, and then click Yes to restart your
computer.

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.

Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

On the Windows Setup tab, click to select the Microsoft
Outlook Express check box, and then click Apply.

When you are prompted, insert the Microsoft Windows 98 CD-
ROM in the CD-ROM drive, click OK, and then click OK again.


hope this will resolve your issue.

bye.

OE is integrated with Internet Explorer:
have you tried the IE Repair Tool
(via MSCINFO32.EXE / tools) ?
