I have just installed Office XP on my dads Laptop which has Service Pack 1 for Xp and IE6 installed. The Office XP installed Outlook as part of it's installation, but my dad wants to use outlook express 6 instead. How can I reinstall OE 6 as I can't re-install IE6 over the existing IE 6 as the service pack 1 has been installed and the installation won't work ( I tried this as OE 6 is installed as part of the IE6 install/update). All help appreciated as he's giving me hell over this!! If it annoys Microsoft then it's worth doing, and doing well!!
 
You shouldn't need to reinstall. Is OE6 not working? To make it the default mail program - open Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs tab, change E-mail to Outlook Express.
 
Thanks, found out how to do it after i osted this, thanks for your input though. If it annoys Microsoft then it's worth doing, and doing well!!
