Ever since I installed MSN Messenger I have had trouble with OE. An error
message comes up, telling me that my server has terminated the connection,
which in reality he hasn't. The error #
given is misleading.
I tried several things, including uninstall of the messenger.
Even that didn't help, because it wouldn't uninstall completely.
There were times when it would connect, but only if starting with bootup.
when I reinstalled it, the error message still comes up at certain times and
I have to shut down and start fresh.
By looking up some forums discussing the same problem, I found this solution
for totally removing MSN Messenger, by going into the registry and removing
the (Default) values ot the two following keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
\CLSID
\{FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541}
\InProcServer32
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
\CLSID
\{FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541}
LocalServer32
Double click on the (Default) value in the right pane and delete whatever is
entered there, leaving it blank. Click ok.
Perform this on both keys and once both (Default) values are empty, Outlook
Express will open normally.
My question is, can I safely perform this maneuver without risking
a registry disaster? I can imagine that a registry backup in advance would
be mandatory.
