Outlook express - Msoe.dll could not be loaded

[Neil]

System: Windows 98, outlook express 6
I receive an error message when attempting to open OE6:
Outlook Express could not be started because Msoe.dll
could not be loaded.
I've looked at knowledge base article Q272265, which
suggests backing up data and uninstall and reinstalling OE.
But I need some guidance as to this proceedure. (In
article above there is a link to article 256219, but this
is a dead link)

Also, what data needs backing up? I am aware of the *.pst,
*.pab, and *.wab files, but nothing beyond that.

If you can provide some info as to above, or link to KB
article I would be gratefull.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?
icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
