Unable to send invitation for remote assistance - "A Program Could Not Start" error

I get completely through the invite wizard (Email an invitation) and
click on send and I get the following error:

A program could not start. Please try again.

OS: Windows XP Home SP2

Remote Assistance IS enabled in System Properties, Remote Tab.

I do not have Windows Messenger installed. For some reason, even
though I am not using that option in my invitation, Windows Messenger
trys to start. But, all I get is an icon in the tray with a red X. I
don't know why it would want to start if I am not using Windows
Messenger to send the invitation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is your default email program? It sounds like it isn't being
loaded properly...

I thought about that, too. I verified OE was the default. Other
applications call up OE just fine as the default.
