Unable to access Outlook or Outlook Express

[Guest]

When trying to use my Outlook Express I get a message saying "MSOE.dll could
not be loaded." When trying to access Outlook the days calendar comes up
with all my data, but then an error message "An OLE registration error
occurred. The program is not correctly installed. Run set-up again." I
cannot use any program features, only read the week's calendar.

I've read a number of MicroSoft articles describing the OLE registration and
also note the two programs with Office 2000 Small Business interact.

I've deleted Office and reloaded. I've downloaded the Office 2000 updates.
I've downloaded (a 2nd time) Internet Explorer 6. The same messages come up.

What am I missing?

Try fixing the OE error first:

OLEXP: Err Msg: Outlook Express Could Not Be Started Because (MSOE.DLL could
not be loaded)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=232480
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=256842
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272265
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=275202

Outlook uses bits and pieces or Outlook Express (to the extent that Outlook
will not run if Outlook Express has been removed), so fixing the Outlook
Express error may well fix Outlook in the process.
