...I reinstalled my
registered Pro version of Windows XP after cleaning and some little crap I
was having problems with went away.

Did you do a Repair Install or did you format & reinstall?

Is the machine currently fully patched at Windows Update?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

At any time since the "reinstall" has the machine been connected to the
internet or any networks (1) without having a firewall enabled, (2) without
a fully-functional and -updated anti-virus application installed, and (3)
without being fully patched at Windows Update?

Is it possible to download IE6 somewhere and try that?

I also checked the properties of the OE icon on my desktop and the
shortcut key has no target in it.
If I had an idea where the original file I need to open was located, maybe
I
could restore?

Question

My IE7 was corrupted and getting the "cannot find (null)" error. I
looked
up the error in this community and uninstalled and
downloaded/installed IE7
again as suggested . When I restarted the computer there was a new
outlook
exp. icon which when I clicked on it, would only open internet
properties.
I found a thread on how to restore the icon (msimn.exe) , but when I
use the
restored icon I get this error:
"Outlook Express cannot be started. The application was unable to
create the
font cashe object (0x8007000E, 127)"
Can anyone help me find the original program .exe, or were the files
lost
with the IE install?
Thanks...gary

Hello,

I did a upgrade install ( as repair option was not offered) with a
Registered Slipstreamed Windows XP Pro SP3 Version.
The machine is on Auto Update w/ Microsoft Update and all patches are current.
I am running Zone Alarm and Avast AV.
The machine is now password protected to keep the kiddes away and the
firewall and AV come on at boot and turn off at shutdown.
I ran a scan yesterday and was showing clean of malware.

The problems I was having before the update with Win XP were related to the
worm. Even after I removed the worm, Avast AV, Spybot S&D, and AdAware would
either fail to load or fail to update. The upgrade fixed that problem.
I had no other problems until IE7 gave me the (null) error. I was told to
uninstall IE7 and reinstall. I uninstalled through control panel, would this
have uninstalled IE6 also? Then ran microsoft update and reinstalled 7. That
was when Outlook disappeared.
Any other ideas, I will be happy to try them,

thanks to all.....gary
