Can anyone please tell me how I can restore IE7 and OE, or how I can import
my OE messages into Outlook? Other ideas also very welcome. Many thanks.
OE is not a part of IE7 or IE8, only IE6.
Since this started with OE, Start here.

Can't I just download and install IE6 - or is that now impossible? In nany
case, even IE 7 won't now open.

I am finding the suggested solution beyond my skill level. I have Outlook
and would be happy if I could just import my OE message into that, but it
won't work, I presume because of the problem with OE. Is there any way I can
import my message into Outlook or into Windows Mail on my Vista lap-top? Is
there anywhere I can just download OE?
Thank you.

You can't just download OE6. It is part of IE6 and they are both part of
your operating system. If you could download it, it would refuse because you
already have it on your machine. Fixing it is the only answer.
Can you manage to delete Folders.dbx? That isn't hard to do.
Close OE, (obviously), and then find your message store.
In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.
In Windows Explorer, follow this path:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{Long string of letters and numbers}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express
Find Folders.dbx and delete it. Reboot and see if OE opens now.

To get OE, you need IE6:
Yes, you can still download and install IE6 (which contains OE6):
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/default.mspx
While you're there, don't forget the Service Pack/s for IE; they're
right there under the IE6 info.
It can also be download from many other sources.
Also there is IE7 and IE8. Start with 6, get OE working, then go get 7
or 8, whichever you want. Pay attention to the service packs they may
say are necessary to have. I -think- 8 requires XP SP3, not certain.

Now I must try to rescue IE.

Which "system registry repair tool " ?
Mis--spoke! Sorry all. I just meant it's elsewhere and not on that
page. Kept getting interrupted.
