How to get and install OE?
He reinstalled XP therefore OE exists on his system.
"VanguardLH" wrote in message ... Jorge Cerva tes wrote: how about installing OE on Windows 7 machine? When it was supported, OE came bundled with IE. OE has long been unsupported. It is a dead program. The last program updates were back in 2002 with one later functional change in SP-2 for Windows XP (to add registry hacks for top/bottom-posting and signature placement). The development team disbanded in 2006. You cannot get OE separately from IE. They came bundled together. As of IE7 and later, OE is no longer bundled with IE. Microsoft isn't going to bundle unsupported products with supported products. Vista comes with IE7 and Windows 7 comes with IE8 as their baseline versions of that web browser. You cannot install earlier versions of IE on those Windows platforms. You could run VirtualPC, VMWare Server, VirtualBox, or other virtual machine managers (VMM) on Vista, install a pre-Vista version of Windows in a virtual machine, and have OE running inside that virtual machine. That requires installing the VMM, installing an OS in a virtual machine (VM), and then load that VM when you want to run OE. A lot of work and nuisance to run a long-dead e-mail client. Windows Mail (WM) is the e-mail client included in Windows Vista. Windows Live Mail (WLM) is the replacement for both OE and WM. Windows 7 does not come with an e-mail client so you will have to install one. http://download.live.com After installing just WLM, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the extra fluff software that Microsoft pushes onto you. While WLM is reminiscent of OE, it has some functional differences. The WLM newsgroup is at: microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop |

How to get and install OE?
Perhaps it is not selected in add/remove windows components in control
panel? "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... "Jorge Cerva tes" wrote in message ... I understand that OE is no longer available. But OE works just fine in three of my XP computers for reading newsgroups. Recently, I reformatted and re-installed WinXP SP3 on one of the computer. I missed OE. How can I get and re-install OE? There must be a trick to do it? Jorge OE is a part of IE6 and XP, so it is already on your machine, somewhere. Copy this: c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe Start | Run and Paste it in | OK. Now go to the Control Panel | Set Program Access and Defaults and set OE as default and then you should have the shortcut.

How to get and install OE?

How to get and install OE?
I think you are confused. Reread his post. He is indicating that he doesn't
have OE after reinstalling XP. He reinstalled "XP" therefore OE is on his computer. To activate it, go to control panel add/remove and then add/remove windows components. Put an X in the box labeled Outlook express. OE cannot be used with Windows 7. "VanguardLH" wrote in message ... Unknown wrote: He reinstalled XP therefore OE exists on his system.
