Outlook and Live Mail

[George C.]

Since installing Win Live Mail I get the following mssg when starting
MS Outlook:
"Cannot start MS Outlook. Outlook require MS Outlook Express 4.01 or
greater. You an install Outlook Express by running IE5Setup.exe from the IE
folder located on your CD or through Windows update website."
I uninstalled Win Live Mail. I uninstalled and reinstalled Office XP. I
restarted between each step. Outlook Express 6.0 is installed and running,
but Outlook doesn't recognize it's there.
Live Mail must have set something in the register.
I am running win XP home w/sp3, Office 2002, aka Office XP, w/sp3.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks
George C.
