How do I reinstall Outlook Express 6 on Windows ME system

My Outlook Express 6 (Windows ME) has become corrupted.  I need to reinstall it, but can't find the right disk.  Is there an easy way to do this?

shelly3000,

Go to Start|Settings|Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs. Scroll down to Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and uninstall it. Reboot. Go back to Add/Remove Programs and scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Tools and click to uninstall it. When you do so, a context menu will appear. Choose "Add a component" from that menu and reinstall Outlook Express from the dialog that opens next.

Denny,

I got it reinstalled, but I still have a problem with opening messages.  When I click on email messages, no matter which folder I am in, they automatically downsize.  Then I have to double click the downsized message to open it. 

At least I can open them, but I have a part time online job and a lot of messages.  This is time consuming and aggravating.  Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks,

Michelle Clark

Shelly:

Do you mean the message window minimizes to the task bar, or that the message closes within OE? See if this article is of any help:

When I click on a message to open, it minimizes to the task bar.  Then I have to double click it to open and read it.
