Internet Explorer 7 and Outlook Express have died

[Blackbeard]

All of a sudden, when I tried to open Outlook Express, the programme simply
would not open. I have tried a system restore; I tried downloading Internet
Explorer 8; I bought and ran system registry repair tool; I uninistalled IE8
then went back to IE7, then uninstalled that and re-downloaded it. At this
stage both IE7 and OE failed to open. Well, IE 7 starts to open then shuts
down. I have backed up my OE messages, of course, but now have no access to
them. I have tried to import them into Outlook, but ti won't work,
presumably because the OE programme isn't functioning. My lap top runs Vista
which of course has Windows Mail which is not compatible with OE messages so
I can't just shift my messages to my laptop and view them there.

Can anyone please tell me how I can restore IE7 and OE, or how I can import
my OE messages into Outlook? Other ideas also very welcome. Many thanks.

-I don't know about your IE or OL.Ex not opening but I use win XP and have 2
new Compaq's with Vista home basic & 1 with Home Premium. I had to rerun my
xp disk set HP computer so I just went to 1 of my Vista's and set up my
e-mail on 1 and after opening windows mail I got about the last 2 months of
e-mails .Good Luck on finding out why you can not click open either program.
