Repairing Outlook Express NOTE: You must be logged on as Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to perform this procedure. To re-install OE: 1. Hold down the Windows key and type R for run. 2. Type the following line exactly and click "OK". %systemroot%\inf 3. Locate the file MSOE50.inf . 4. Press applications-key and then enter on Install .
