I have a Windows 7 PC running Office 2007. When I launch Outlook, it comes up with the message "There is no email program associated to perform the request action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I removed Office and reinstalled it. Double-checked file associations, and they all look good. Any ideas? Could it be a corrupt Outlook registry key?

Hi, Let's know how you're trying to launch Outlook (by clicking on the shortcut, or by double-clickin on a message file?). Press WinKey+R and type in: c:\program files\microsoft office\office12\outlook.exe Press {ENTER}Ramesh Srinivasan | The Winhelponline Blog Microsoft MVP, Windows Desktop Experience
