Outlook Express Problem
Recently, I upgraded to IE 8 and since then, when I click on an email address
on the Internet, a window pops up and asks me to Choose Profile and it only gives one option “Outlook”. I want and use Outlook Express. Can someone help me. Thank you, -- George Jurak |

A post by Bruce Hagen yesterday could well apply to your situation. It is the Outlook updates that cause this. Make OE the default e-mail client: http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx If you have MS Outlook installed, also see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#13 Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults | Custom + Down Arrow | Select the radio button for Outlook Express. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA -- Hope this helps.

Outlook Express Problem
I suspect that a recently-installed Outlook (2003?) Update was the culprit
here [1], not IE8. 1. See http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx; then see... 2a. http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx and/or... 2b. Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults | Click on the downward-pointing arrows to the right of the configuration that's already checked | Email: Select "Outlook Express" here (not "Use my current...").
