I recently bought a new Medion PC and when I went to click on an e-mail link
on a web page things went rather bananas.

Instead of openning up OE (my default e-mail client) it started openning
multple blank IE windows.

When I did eventually manage to stop it, it said that my email program
wasn't properly installed.

Under IE Tools/internet options/programs, the only email program that
appears is Outlook. (which isn't selected, it's only in the pulldown menu).
If I open OE and make it my default and go back to tools/options etc. it
still doesn't appear.

What's the easiest way of sorting this?

TIA

Tim

C:\program files\internet explorer\setup.exe

Run the setup program and reinstall.

No such file on my PC. (WIn XP Home with SP2 pre-installed)

Then get one from the windows update site.
At least that way you'd have the latest version.
And one seperate from anything else.

I suggest that you ignore ALL "advice" from Richard the St00pid.

Type the following into the Start / Run box:

"c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe" /reg

This assumes the path to your OE file is as shown.
If it isn't, adjust it accordingly.
