I know this won't get seen on thje teck board and with all the smart mamas around here I thought I would try here...

I went to to open my Outlook Express and am getting a message that reads:

OE could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded

Which is Greek to me. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

have you rebooted?

while you are doing that, i'll look up the error.

What version of windows are you using?

Yes I rebooted and we have Windows 98

Thanks!

"The best thing you can do in the circumstances is to reinstall it. To do that, navigate to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer. You'll find a file in there called ie5setup.exe. Choose the "Custom" installation and only checkmark Outlook Express. "

I tried what they mentioned with no luck! i TRIED to reinstall OE but it still can not find that prgram. Perhaps it has a bug or someting? Thanks for your help. I will keep looking around for some answers or maybe call Microsoft.

Yikes! Don't call Microsoft... there must be a better option.

Try running Windows update. Open Internet Explorer and from the Tools menu select Windows Update.

Molly,

Yeah! I fixed it! I just uninstalled OE and then reinstalled it and it worked. Thanks for your help. I don't know why or how but it worked!

Good for you! Aren't you glad you didn't sit on hold on Microsoft all afternoon?
