OutLook 07 Wants Internet Explorer Or It Wont Open

[23hitman]

I removed IE 7 & Outlook Explorer this weekend.
First I used the built in Windows remove feature via the Control Panel (XP)
Then I blasted IE7 and Outlook Express from the registry

I have upgraded to IE 8

IE 8 is running just fine
Windows XP is running just fine
ALL of Office 07 is working (Word, PPT, Excel) fine,

HOWEVER, when I go to open my Outlook (which had been fine before the IE) it
says "You Need Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher for this to work. Go to the
Internet Explorer.com site.

I have put in my Office 2007 disk and tried to repair....nothing


Ideas on how to get Outlook to recognize IE is in place and working just fine?

Thanks

Outlook wants Outlook Express to be present, as the two use various pieces
of each other.
