Yep, and NOT to what I addressed my reply in his SECOND post. > He reinstalled "XP" therefore OE is on his computer. Okay, so apparently you cannot see the OP's 2nd post in this subthread and where he asks about Windows 7. Since that post is missing for you which makes for an incomplete subthread, you might have to right-click on the newsgroup in OE (the newsreader that you are using), Properties, and Reset that group to re-retrieve all headers (make sure the option to retrieve only N headers at a time is disabled). Perhaps the OP's 2nd post would then show up for you to see it. You really don't see the OP's post which has "BTW, how about installing OE on Windows 7?" and is the question which *I* addressed? I see you agree with my statements, anyway, despite you not seeing the OP asked *another* question in his second post.

Except those users are stuck with the flaws and deficiencies of a webnews-for-dummies interface. You thought the posts from users of Google Groups represented an educated community of posters?

Jorge, You could try this; Open Control Panel > "Add or Remove Programs" and press on the button named "Add/Remove Window's Components". A new windows will appear after a short time named "Windows Components Wizard". Scroll down to the "Outlook Express" item near the bottom of the list. If the item IS checked, uncheck it, close all windows by clicking [ok] and reboot. After rebooting, re-open the "Windows Components Wizard" again and find the "Outlook Express" item and this time checkmark it, then press [ok]. If the "Outlook Express" item was unchecked to begin with, just checkmark it and press [ok]. Before you do this, however, do double check that the "Outlook Express" program is definitely not installed by going to the "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express" folder to see if it, and the file "msimn.exe", exists on your machine. Because I don't know - it could be that you just lost the shortcuts to the program... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Jorge Cerva tes" <machocraig(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:OF4vbeFnKHA.564(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I understand that OE is no longer available.
