Thanks bruce. I see exactly the same screen but the entry outlook express is
missing. After doing some research it seems like my PC came with IE7
pre-installed. And IE7 does not include OE. So I tried to download couple of
OE installation packages, but all of them when run say that your computer is
already running a newer version of Internet Explorer, so setup can not
continue. So now the question is how to install OE if your computer came
with IE7 or IE8 preinstalled?

This /is/ an XP machine, correct? Even if IE7 came preinstalled, no XP disk
has ever been released that did not include IE6 in it, which has the OE
components. I have never heard of it at least.
What happens when you do this?
c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe
Start | Run and Paste it in | OK.
Anything?
You just got this machine, right? Would it be a hassle to reload XP?

Reloading xp would be a big hassle since I spent several days in picking and
choosing the data from my old mchine and then making all the settings
changes as needed.
Under program files there wasn't any outlook express folder so I moved the
contents of my old outlook express folder there but obviously it doesn't
work because it can not load the necessary libraries. Is there any way to
get around it. Plus reloading XP with restore disk won't get me outlook
express. And I don't know if i should use my old Dell XP CD with this newer
machine (which is fortunately Dell too)? Also should I cange the name of the
thread to more accurately describe the problem?

No need to change the title of the thread. This has been crossposted to OE
General so other OE people will see it.
I don't know how you could have done it, but did you somehow create this
machine without using a genuine XP disk? If you figured out a way to install
XP but leave out IE6, then that is the problem, but I don't know the answer.
I'll see if I can find someone with that type of knowledge to take a look at
this thread.

Reloading xp would be a big hassle since I spent several days in picking
and
choosing the data from my old mchine and then making all the settings
changes as needed.
Under program files there wasn't any outlook express folder so I moved the
contents of my old outlook express folder there but obviously it doesn't
work because it can not load the necessary libraries. Is there any way to
get around it. Plus reloading XP with restore disk won't get me outlook
express. And I don't know if i should use my old Dell XP CD with this
newer
machine (which is fortunately Dell too)? Also should I cange the name of
the
thread to more accurately describe the problem?
Bruce Hagen said:This /is/ an XP machine, correct? Even if IE7 came preinstalled, no XP
disk has ever been released that did not include IE6 in it, which has the
OE components. I have never heard of it at least.

couple
of OE installation packages, but all of them when run say that your

Try going to Start | Run and type
SFC /scannow
and see if that fixes things. Also check in the c:\program files\Outlook
Express\ directory for msimn.exe and if its present then run it.
