Default OE error messages after installing/uninstalling Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta

Hi Jim,

Just wanted to say thanks for the help. What you suggested I should do
worked.

I thought I was going to get some type of pop up when I typed the path
you gave me, but nothing happened, so I thought I did it wrong. I gave
it a second try and once again I didn't get a pop up, so I did the
other thing you said (going to IE's Tools Internet Options...) and
made OE my default mail and news program. The I opened another
forwarded email and the prompt was as it was befor I installed and
uninstalled Windows Live Mail Desktop Bate.

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated.

Re-register Outlook Express as your default email client by doing the
following:

Go to Start | Run and type the following:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /reg
(Check the path to msimn.exe to make sure that is correct)

Make certain to include the quotations marks and the space between the
ending quotation mark and the slash.

Then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools\Internet Options\Programs
and set OE as the default mail (and news) program.

Post back if you continue to have problems.

Hi,

I installed Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta but after deciding to keep
using Outlookk Express, I uninstalled Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta.
Now whenever someone forwards me an email as an attachment (well, I
think it's being sent as an attachment), I get the following error
messages.

- please click on links to see image -

I used to get this one befor, but was able to click on the "Open"
button to see the message:

Now when I click on the "Open" button, I get this message, and if you
read the title bar, it mentions IE5 when I'm using IE6:

I did what the last prompt said, but I couldn't find the folder it's
refering to.

Is there a way that I can fix this?
