outlook Express closing?

[CharmPeddler]

when i open OE, and click on "newmessage" i get a window that says "outlook express has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience."

im about ready to uninstall using "uninstall/install windows componants". i'll of course back up the contacts and inbox. but how would i REinstall it from the disk?

or does someone have a few ideas i can try?

OE has very few options, if in your case an error code was given, like 0x0077 etc then it would be easy but in your case, have you tried a repair ? not the best of options but might solve many problems

no not yet. i have not done a repaire before. can you direct me to a tut, or or get me started in the right direction.?

thanks.
