Anybody able to help?

Appears my Outlook express has gone? Windows cannot locate it anymore.

I've tried going through add / remove windows components but no luck!

Appears I cannot download it again from Microsoft either as I'm now running Explorer 7 (beta). The problem existed before I updated explorer...

Any help appreciated,

Rob.

I suggest a stiff drink to celebrate the vanishing of that piece of junk, shortly followed by installing a *proper* email and News program. Thunderbird & Gravity, say.

Good advice, though IE 7 is very good - much improved on IE6... My wife prefers Express otherwise I'd install Office for her...
