Re: Lost outlook express
Well, I had enough sense to use system restore and got my email back with
everything intact. Obviously the original files are around somewhere or they
would be gone when I restored, I just cannot get to them.
Again I got the (null) error, so I exported and saved everything in OE I
cared about.
I uninstalled IE7, reinstalled from Microsoft Update. After install, again
my email program disappeared. My original icon is there this time, but again
when I click on it, I get the internet properties window.
I do not have the "Outlook Express cannot be started, application was unable
to create the font cashe object (0x8007000E, 127)" error message because I
did not try to restore the shortcut (msimn.exe). This time the icon was the
same as my old one. but still, I have no files or application with my old
icon. Apparrently the missing icon had nothing to do with my problem,
I can use system restore again and get OE back. But if I do, I am sure I
will get the (null) error along with. Then the IE7 uninstall reinstall will
kill it again.
I recently had a problem with a very nasty worm. I cleaned the worm after
weeks of work and at that time the email was fine. I reinstalled my
registered Pro version of Windows XP after cleaning and some little crap I
was having problems with went away. I am still testing clean, but this could
though have something to do with the problem.
I really hate to format after working for weeks removing the worm and
finally getting everything working again
Is it possible to download IE6 somewhere and try that?
