I'm having trouble with outlook express 5.0. My operating system is
windows 98 2nd edition. Whenever I try to read or create a message in
outlook express, I get an error message indicating a system problem.
I can't remember whether I got outlook express with the computer or
added it later, and I can't find any way to uninstall it. Is there a
fix? If the fix is to go to version 6.0, is it downloadable on-line?
And how would I get rid of 5.0?
Thanks for any advice.
Hi -
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..
You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.
Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh
If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).
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.
A good website for information on OE is:
http://www.insideoe.com/
Answer is, however, yes - you can (and *should*) get yourself upgraded to
the latest version of IE for Win9x which will include OE6. Windows Update,
or
www.microsoft.com/downloads, is the place to go....
