Unhappy

does anyone know why My outlook express won't start up when I click on it from the tool bar at the bottom, or if I double clik from desk top??
At the mom, I carn't read my e-mail or send them from it, even if I try to send you one from the bullitin board the e-mail LETTER does'nt open up!!!
I've deleted and reinstalled IE version 5.01, but still no joy, Explorer works!!!!!

sorry that this is not Scooby related but I want to send e-mails to some of you with more pix of Donny but carn't.

Try from the start bar

start -> programs -> internet explorer -> outlook express

if that fails

start an explorer session go into your program files directory, then your outlook express directory and double click the file MSIMN

If this works then your shortcuts are stuffed and need to be recreated.


other than that go to

Just another thought if you are reinstalling then you might want to go into the control panel and "add/remove programs" and blow outlook express away before trying to reinstall.

cheers

Yep, do not reinstall Outlook Express without first removing it, it doesnt reset the registry settings that are fubar'd if you dont.

Cool

Come on now! Why do such discerning tastes here that chose such a cool car not use a cool operating system?
LINUX is the computer equivalent of this car!
I know this is a divergence but there you go.

swa,

I would have said the Taos concept was more equivelent to a scooby in OS terms, but then linking cars and operating systems this way is really silly anyway!

Sorry but if you want to just get on and use your computer without needing to know that much about how it works and without having problems then the Mac OS rules.

AllanB-Without having problems? As a Mac engineer/developer for 3 years I would have to disagree - they have as many, if not more, problems as PCs, it's just that you can't do anything about fixing them!

Plus, my two new graphic designers have decided to get rid of their iMacs at home having used PCs for about 6 months and found them faster, cheaper and more stable...

flame out.

robman:
must aggree with you there. the iMacs and new G3/G4's are well flakey. As I am senior support engineer for a mac security software company I am well aware of the current flake state of macs. It's a pity as they are good machines (when they work!) never had that many problems with the 68k machines! or the 601/603 PPCs!
