Problem Using Outlook with Internet Explorer

[Guest]

I am running XP SP2 with IE 6 SP2. When I try to Send Link by Email I get an
error that my Exchange Server is Unavailable however Microsoft Outlook is
open & running. I do have Outlook set as the email program in IE options.
If I change the IE option to use Hotmail or OE it works but when I switch
back to MS Outlook it says the Exchange Server is unavailable.

Why won't it recognize that Outlook is available?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you using an Exchange server at all??
