I'm trying to respond to an email address on www.craigslist.com & a window
pops up that says, "Could not perform the operation because the default mail
client is not properly installed."

How do I properly install the default mail client? I use www.yahoo.com for
my primary email.

Internet Explorer will try to use Outlook Express to seng mail

so in Craig's List you will need to copy and paste the link into your Yahoo
account
 
And do you access your (e-mail address removed) account via your browser or a Mail
Client (e.g., Outlook; Outlook Express)?

Is MS Office installed? Is MS Outlook also installed and do you use it?

Start | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Set program access and
defaults (left hand column)
Make sure OE is the default mail program. If that isn't enough, press the
Windows key, then type

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" \reg

and press enter. There probably won't be any response. The quotes and
spaces are essential.

Why ask here? Do you see OE in this group's title? No.

Ask elsewhere

Chuck, ignore the rudeness of Iceman's (he's changed his name to Iceman to
escape from people's killfiles) reply. However note that if you have an
Outlook Express problem, you are much more likely to get the help you need
if you would ask your question in an Outlook Express newsgroup, since that's
where the Outlook Express experts hang out.
