Outlook Express 5.5 cannot open email (error)

[Shawna]

Using Windows 98 (not Second Edition) and Outlook Express
(IE 5.5), I get an error when trying to open any of the
messages. The error is as follows, "Internet Explorer
cannot open the Internet Site mhtml: mid:1100000001/.
The specified protocol is unknown."

This PC was experiecing other issues when we encountered
this one. It had the choke.exe virus on it. We tried to
install IE 6.0 but found issues b/c Win98 does not
support IE 6.0. So, rolled back to IE 5.x.

Does anyone know what else to look for to correct this
problem?

Thanks,
Shawna

Windows 98 certainly DOES support IE6.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. 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. Good luck!
