Outlook express won`t open at all?

Hi
I very rarely use Oiutlook Express but now can`t anyway, For some inexplicable reason when I try to open OE i get a message that says:

` OE could not be started because MSOE.dll could not be found. OE may not be installed correctly`

How would i go about fixing this?

 

what OS are you using?

 

Hi
Win XP

 

Sorry just HOME version

 

Try this
click start>>run>>> type this
regsvr32 msoe.dll
then hit enter

 

thanks for idea

it says The specified module could no be found

 

im sorry
ok try this
click start>>run>>> type this
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\Msoe.dll"
then hit enter

if nothing will repair this is my last option
ok try this
click start>>run>>> type this
sfc /scannow
hit enter

you must have the XP home version cd
sometime it will ask for repairing

 

Also see how these go>

Try this to repair IE & OE
Start/Run/regsvr32 urlmon.dll

OR

To reinstall IE & OE
Start/run/rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

 

hi all

Tried all of these ideas but still get same report when i click OE.

MSOE.dll not found

I did not get an XP disc with this PC, there is a reinstall set of discs to
load all software back in, if i need to do so, but don`t really want to do
that.

Don`t really remember anything that would have caused this to happen.
I run sygate firewall, and Free AVG antivirus and reg chexk the registry with about 4 checkers, like REg Mechanic, PC on point, Reg Fix, they always find loads of things to correct, other than that everything is OK, Except that I have noticed that Firefox (which I use) is extremely slow in loading nowadays (around 10 seconds)

 

Have a look in here>

C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\

Should be 12 files, including msoe.dll.

What's there?

 

Hi
There are 13 files incl msoe.dll

 

Don't know what the 13th file is. Maybe it is different depending on the system.

Anyways......see how this goes.

 

hI
thanks for suggestion, but i don`t think i want to try that, too complicated for me,
I try to stay away from anything to do with Microsft, I have a feeling it was some auto update that caused the prob in the first place. There was a time when the File security thingy kept coming up not allowing me to open some programes, seems to have disappeared now.

Guess i`ll just not bother with OE

thanks all the same
