I don't use it, but my cousin does. He sent me files to read that were in Outlook express. I reloaded my Microsoft Office with Outlook Express but I get the message that it can't open.

Thanks.

Hello nanajanet,

Was there an error message when you try to open Outlook Express !

Go to Outlook Express program files folder and open Outlook Express . The shortcut from Desktop may be corrupt.

It says, "Unable to open default email folders. Could not open the item. Try again."

If I try to open an Outlook Express saved email (from my cousin), it says, "The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, please restart Outlook."

I tried setting Outlook as my default email but that did not work.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello nanajanet,

We can do this : uninstall Outlook and uninstall as much of Office as possible. The use the Windows Installer cleanup utility to clean up the rest.

Then install Outlook again.

I can't find my install CD. The one that came with the computer was a temp one and I did not pay for upgrade. I still have 2000 or something like that. I did save MS Office Install info, from my old computer, onto THIS computer. I can't find a way to install Outlook separately. Thanks.

Let's ensure that Outlook is your default email program.
