You said in the title using XP yet in the message you say winME.
Which os do you use?

OE cannot be uninstalled as such.
You said at the end of your post you had ME, so I'm guessing you installed
XP over ME,
XP doesn't really like being installed over 98/ME, and causes lots of
problems for lots of people.
Your best bet is to backup your data and emails, format your hard drive and
do a fresh/clean install of XP..

XP is installed over ME and it has caused all sorts of problems,
I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong or if it isn't really
compatible I will have a go at saving everything as you suggested and
format.

Thanx
