? Making Outlook default email?

[rjboney]

When I go into Outlook 2007 or try to send a email from Internet Explorer I
get this popup message.
___________________________________________________________
Microsoft Office Outlook

Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot
fulfill the messaging request. Please run
microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client.


OK button

I have tried to set Outlook as the default but I quess I am missing
something. I went in Outlook to Tools, Options, Other, then clicked to make
Outlook the default email.
I am running this on a Dell laptop running Microsoft Vista and Microsoft
Office Pro 2007.
Does any one know how I can fix this problem?

Thanks

Try a detect and repair from the add/remove programs. Also try a new profile.

Also when did you start getting this error> Has outlook been able to send
messages ever?
