Default 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.

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/*.

*YOU* reread his SECOND post in this subthread. 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.

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.

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. :-)

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. (The earlier line - which you snipped - ended with three dots.)

gets stroppy at this, you know it genuinely is your bank. - Ian Shorrocks,
