I just upgraded my outlook express to the full outlook(I think) and I dont need outlook express anymore...does anyone know how to remove it and will that cause any problems with my outlook that I installed now? I tried goin to add/remove windows componants but I get a weird error so hopefulyl that isnt how you remove it heh.

Just an FYI...

1) Outlook Express is part of Internet Explorer
2) Outlook is part of Microsoft Office (95, 97, 2000, XP, 2003)

I'd say you got a problem to say the least. I would venture to guess you've upgraded/patched XP at one point or another and something did not go quite right when it went to update the Add/Remove Componets.

This install of xp was a fresh install...the add/remove use to work before but I might have isntalled a patch or something and it didnt finish in full...o well outlook express doesnt take up that much room so I will just leave it.

If you read any newsgroups, OE makes for an excellent (or at least acceptable) reader.
