[Guest]

Yesterday I had microsoft office outlook and everything was fine, my
assistant logged on and could not check her e-mail because her office outlook
program had arbitrarily converted over to microsoft express. i was logged on
prior to that and office outlook was still in play. when I logged on today my
office outlook was also convetted to Express and now I can't check my e-mail.
how do we uninstall Express and reinstall our outlook!!!

Outlook and Express are two completely seperate Apps. Express is part of
Windows/Internet Explorer
What happens if you select Microsoft Outlook from either the desktop
shortcut, or in Start/Program Files?
And version of Outlook might help

Control Panel|Internet Options|Programs, select "Microsoft Office Outlook"
for the "Email" program. This will replace Outlook Express with Outlook at
the top of the Start menu.

PCs don't "arbitrarily" do anything, although it may appear that way
sometimes.

Open IE and click Tools>Internet Options>Programs and check what's in the
"E-mail" drop-down. It it says Outlook Express, change it to Outlook. You
cannot really uninstall Outlook Express from Windows XP, although you can
remove it with Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs>Add/Remove Windows
Components.
