[SOLVED] can't find msoe.dll

[brindle]

When trying to open outlook express 6 on an 98se os I get a message saying that msoe.dll not found could not load. The dll is in the C:\program\outlook express Dir. Thought maybe it was corrupt so deleted it and grab a copy of it from my backup drive, still can't open outlook express. Did an internet repair, a virus Scan with both norton and avg. Nothing has changed on my system all I did was try and go through my morning puter routine.Please help I live by e-mail......Thank you

If it dosen't fix it then you might wanna go ahead and re-install the Outlook Express. This error message comes up with several OE problems.....

You did try an IE repair in add/remove programs, right?

Hope it helps!!

did the registry thing yesterday also just forgot to mention it

I also read somewhere that maybe this can be caused by the >dbx files marked as read only. When I went to check them I found no .dbx files.

Hi brindle

Your inbox, outbox, sent items etc are .dbx files- hence inbox.dbx outbox.dbx etc

Go to start\find files and type in

*.dbx

see what you get

if these are deleted windows should make new ones when you reboot

rebooted and the dbx files are not there. deleted oe in add remove and reloaded it. rebooted nothing....msoe is in the registry though

 

[Del]

Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Double click Add / Remove programs.
Find Microsoft Internet Explorer and Internet Tools and single click it, then click add/remove at the lower right.
Select repair and see if that helps.

Hi brindle

Follow this path and see if you find any .dbx files there ?

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities\{16213920-ECA6-C5930914B54C}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

If there is a "folders.dbx" delete it and reboot

Go to C:\Program Files\Outlook Express

What happens when you click on "msimn.exe"

Right click "msoe.dll" click "properties" - what is the version number ?

steam

P.S. This is a different link to the one posted by dtugg, have you seen it ?

okay to all that were so helpful the problem has been resolved. It was actually my neighbors puter that I built and she just got rid of aol. Well that wonderful isp changed all her dbx files to another and varing ext. I changed them all back to dbx and now everything works fine. thanks to all of you for the help

SO did you find them at the end of the path I posted above ?

Then you just changed then back
