I get a message that reads: Outlook express could not be started because MSOE.DLL outlook express may not be installed properly. I have used OE for 8 years and never had a problem. Please help....on my last nerve

Reinstalling OE's not going to fix this (even if you could do it).Is MS Outlook (or MS Office) also installed?• Do you have this Registry key?... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4• If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook (NB: no space) and is its value set to 1 (one)?• If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with Outlook, even if you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office). Change the value to 0 (zero), close REGEDIT & reboot: Address Book should be available to you and all should be well. (If that DWORD is not present, don't create it, and don't alter any other DWORD values.)Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing was enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is disabled.cf. http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm#share and/orhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/191946~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (IE, Mail, Security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ Disclaimer: MS MVPs neither represent nor work for Microsoft
