Outlook 2000 setup in Windows XP

[Michael]

I have used MS Office 2000 Premium with Windows 98 and
Outlook 2000 as my default email program. I recently
upgraded to Windows XP and Outlook Express became my
default email program.

I have tried to reset the default to Outlook 2000 but I
can't. Will Outlook 2000 work under XP?

Yes it will work with XP. Run a repair install for Outlook from the Office
or Outlook CD.

Give this a try, it should make the Outlook your default. You also may
want to try changing the ISP info in the Outlook Express.
Let us know how you make out.

Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Other.
Under General, select the Make Outlook the default program for E-mail,
Contacts, and Calendar check box.

I updated Outlook; Converters and Filters; and Office
Tools. I tried to launch Outlook and now I get the error
message "Cannot start MS Outlook. A required component
is missing; OMI9.DLL. Please install MS Outlook again".
I did install MS Outlook again and I get the same message.

Before the problem surfaced Outlook Express WAS NOT my
default email program. I used all of the settings I had
used under Win 98 as directed by my ISP - ATT.

Any ideas?

Did you update or repair? An update would only update files and not
necessarily fix existing problems. A repair install is what I suggested
since the original installation was not registering as an available default
email program.
