There seems to be 2 problems here;
1] You cannot find/use Internet Explorer 6, and
2] You cannot use Outlook.
Is this correct? If not, please say which is wong.
1] You cannot find/use Internet Explorer 6.
What are you using now?
Is there a shortcut in your Start > All programs menu? If not;
Search your drive for iexplore.exe . If your Windows Explorer/Search window is not set up to show .exe files or hidden files, goto Tools > Folder options and in the View tab and select "Sgow hidden files and folders", and de-select "Hide extensions for known file types".
2] You cannot use Outlook.
it is strange that Outlook says you need Outlook Express 4.1 or higher to run. They, (Outlook and Outlook Express), are entirely different email software, despite their similar names. How do you get this message? Do you double click an icon on your desktop or somewhere else? If so, make sure the shortcut is an Outlook shortcut and not an Outlook Express shortcut, (right click the icon and select Properties). Make sure that the Outlook shortcut does not point to "msimn.exe"
Do you really want to use Outlook? Although many people do use it for personal use, it is generally email software used in business for Microsoft Exchange servers.

I installed Internet Explorer 7 as a trial, but Outlook would not run so I uninstalled it. Now Outlook says I need Outlook Express 4.1 or higher to run. Outlook Express is installed and runs fine. I uninstalled Office, rebooted twice, reinstalled it, and Outlook still gives the same error message. I've looked at the Microsoft site and they only give suggestions for operating systems other than Windows XP. I've also tried repairing Office XP Pro, but it does not work either. I do not see Internet Explorer 6 in my add/remove choices. I've tried to reinstall Internet Explorer 6, but it says a later version is already installed and quits. I'll appreciate any advice.
