Hi,
I have a little ASUS with a 4 gb HDD. I managed to get a stripped down version of windows to run it but the Ie6 didn't have outlook express.
After struggling with portable email clients I decided to go back to OE and storing the data on the external HDD.
So I downloaded IE7 (because I understood it to have OE6)
It hasn't and I don't know how to get it.
Please help.....I am going crazy.

My old computer crashes and I bought a new computer. When I ried to install Microsoft office it stated that my user key was already activated on my old computer. Do I need to by a new product key for the new computer or can I still somehow use the old one.

I was using the old version of outlook express. I can't open my outlook express since a few days. What can I do. My computor is too old for a new version. I have a millinium

It kinda depends on what you mean by "I can't open" - that could mean many things and all might have different answers. If you can't repair Outlook Express as outlined in the article, I'd be tempted to suggest you move to Thunderbird (though a Windows Millenium machine is very old and if there's a way to upgrade that's the real solution).
