Errors galore when starting OE

Try this, assuming you have enabled Hidden Files and Folders as previously
mentioned.

Open Windows Explorer and follow this path:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{Long string of letters and numbers}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express

Can you see the dbx files now?

I cannot open up Outlook Express, so how am I to get to Tools/Options tabs
in
OE? This did not seem necessary to mention, as the error messages state
"cannot be started". What am I missing; is there an alternate way?

OK, the 12 files I mentioned were in C:\Program Files\Outlook Express,
as
you
state. However I cannot find the path 'Tools | Options | Maintenance |
Store
Folder". No matter where I am at (i.e., IE, control panel, or C

when
clicking on Tools - I only see Internet Options or Folder Options (not
just
Options) and nothing next about Maintenance or Store Folder. Nor when
using
Search do I find Manintenance or Store.

I already was able to see the OE files as part of my previous
message,
including 4 WAB-type files (WAB.exe, WABFIND.DLL, wabimp.dll,
WABIMG.EXE)

including
mose.dll. But no DBX file(s). Since WAB's show up, I assume I am

Yes, I can see the dbx files now. There are 3 identities, each with its set
of dbx files. Two have 7 dbx files each, and one has 15 dbx files; the
latter must be my main email identity. Tried copy and paste the folder.dbx
from the one of the identities into a Windows folder and didn't work. Did
move mean delete it from the identity folder? Confused as to next step.

"Psyberwolf" has not had any luck yet, and this three error messages at

If you wish, you can reinstall OE. I have no idea if it will help, or not,
but since nothing else has helped, it might be worth a try.

The process looks a little scary, especially if it goes to the registry
stage. Ques (1) it appears that IE and OE are both embedded in Windows XP
program? That would explain my first attempt of uninstalling and
reinstalling Outlook (as part of Office program) was not successful, before
contacting you. (2) Don't remember - what are the basic differences in
features between Outlook and Outlook Express; should I consider just going
back to Outlook? (3) I just upgraded to IE7 a few days ago (OE problem
started weeks before that), but the OE repair /reinstall process mentions IE6
and not IE7; will this cause unkown repair problems and I need to uninstall
IE7 before beginning?

1: OE6 is a part of IE6, and both are part of you OS.

2: Differences between Outlook Express and MS Outlook:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/...tlookvsoe.mspx
And:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;257824

But this doesn't solve your problems.

3: Yes. Uninstall IE7 before doing the R&R.

I know it looks scary, but it is much like reinstalling your OS, but without
losing anything. I posted this fix many times and was still a little worried
the first time I had to do it for a friend, but it went well.

Print out the KB article so you have it handy while you do the R&R.
