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. Read ALL posts in this subthread, including the OP's own reply. Explain how you missed that he asked about using OE under */Windows 7/*. |

See the sentence ending in a question mark? He is indicating that he doesn't have OE after reinstalling XP. Yep, and NOT to what I addressed my reply in his SECOND post. He reinstalled "XP" therefore OE is on his computer. Okay, so apparently you cannot see the OP's 2nd post in this subthread and where he asks about Windows 7. Since that post is missing for you which makes for an incomplete subthread, you might have to right-click on the newsgroup in OE (the newsreader that you are using), Properties, and Reset that group to re-retrieve all headers (make sure the option to retrieve only N headers at a time is disabled). Perhaps the OP's 2nd post would then show up for you to see it. You really don't see the OP's post which has "BTW, how about installing OE on Windows 7?" and is the question which *I* addressed? I see you agree with my statements, anyway, despite you not seeing the OP asked *another* question in his second post. |

How to get and install OE?
Jorge,
You could try this; Open Control Panel "Add or Remove Programs" and press on the button named "Add/Remove Window's Components". A new windows will appear after a short time named "Windows Components Wizard". Scroll down to the "Outlook Express" item near the bottom of the list. If the item IS checked, uncheck it, close all windows by clicking [ok] and reboot. After rebooting, re-open the "Windows Components Wizard" again and find the "Outlook Express" item and this time checkmark it, then press [ok]. If the "Outlook Express" item was unchecked to begin with, just checkmark it and press [ok]. Before you do this, however, do double check that the "Outlook Express" program is definitely not installed by going to the "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express" folder to see if it, and the file "msimn.exe", exists on your machine. Because I don't know - it could be that you just lost the shortcuts to the program... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "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 |

You snipped too much: the above was a continuation of an earlier line, saying that an alt. group doesn't start with microsoft... ... which could be seen as a good thing, given what you said about its forums and things.
