Can I download JUST OE 6?

[Monica]

My dad "says" he deleted OE 6. If indeed he did manage to do that, can
I just download OE 6? I briefly looked on the MS site and didn't see a
way to do so. I don't want him upgrading to IE 7. He's not using IE
anymore anyway. I'm on my way over there and hoping to have some
replies to help me along
Thanks all,
Monica

OE 6 is not available for download. You can find it on the XP install
CD.

Outlook Express (Msimn.Exe) is a monitored executable by
Windows File Protection. Whenever a system monitored file
is renamed/moved/deleted the system quietly replaces it from
the DllCache or other installation source.
It's likely just the shortcut was deleted, not the executable file.

Never mind guys. His nearly SIX year old Dell has had it. By the time
I got there he couldn't even get into windows. It was telling him to
click on his user name to enter Windows. There was NO user name or
icon or anything to click on. I couldn't get in via safemode, I
couldn't access safemode with command prompt, couldn't access last
known good configuration. I entered the bios and changed his CD to the
bootable drive, stuck the XP CD in and repaired XP with an install (not
the recovery console). I tried typing nusermgr.cpl but there was no
valid user name to change let the install continue and got 5
different .dll errors saying they were missing or damaged, one of those
being msoe.dll. The end result was where we started...can't get into
Windows. Of course, he had nothing backed up. All his financial
records and business correspondences are lost if his computer guy can't
get in long enough to backup his info. Tsk tsk. How many times have I
told him to back up? He gave me the green light to configure a new
Dell. It's about TIME!

ps...He gladly went over to Firefox. I guess if I used TB he would
too. At 73, even an ex Army fighter pilot and commercial airline
captain has a hard time learning new tricks
AND, I didn't know that about OE (rebuilding it's self . GTK!

Hi Monica - You may want to suggest to him that having his computer guy pull
his HD and putt it on another machine as a seconday drive may allow the
recovery of his correspondence and financial records to be save to DVD/CD or
a new hard disk, after which he may be able to completely flatten the old
machine and do a clean install and restore his programs and data or,
alternatively, restore them on a new machine.

Thank you Jim. I'll certainly do that. He's got a 1GB thumb drive
that I told him to take to the shop with him tomorrow. All he really
needs are his records, correspondences and a few picture.
