Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
There are a couple approaches to take to repair Outlook Express.
I have been reading all the problems with OE not responding. I thought I would try to repair OE in Add/Remove Programs, but it doesn't show up! I have Windows XP with SP2. I am using Outlook successfully, but OE will not open...just hangs, and I am not game to change registry entries. How can I get these programs that are missing to show up in Add/Remove?

It is confusing. Windows gives you this nice facility for adding and removing software in Control Panel, and then neither Internet Explorer nor Outlook Express show up in it.
Fortunately, there is another approach.

First, be aware that Outlook Express is part of Internet Explorer. You might not think of it that way, but that's how it's packaged and delivered.
And both are considered part of the operating system.
That means you can run the System File Checker to repair either Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.
The other alternative is simply to reinstall Internet Explorer, and with it Outlook Express, by downloading the latest version.

Hi
Posted by: Garry at August 17, 2010 1:56 AMEvery time i send a message it sends from 30 to 100 times regardless whether i send to 1 or more recipients. Frustrating.
Thanks.
The password is not remembered when I log into OE 6 so everytime I start OE I have to type in password (option for remembering the password (tick) is not allowed). How can I activate this option (allow to mark the tick).
Posted by: Marko at October 14, 2010 2:45 AMMy OE can receive e mails ok but it will not send e mails. I get an error message 421 saying that the server cannot accept the e mail from my computer. If I access my e mails via my my internet provider (virigin media) web page I can both send and receive e mails ok. Virgin media have checked my OE settings and confirmed they are ok so it is their view that something is worng with my OE
