Help with Outlook Express 5!

I need some help with Outlook Express 5.0. I'm running Win98SE and the rest of the hardware need not apply. The problem: I can't compose any new e-mail because it says that my address book isn't there (which obviously it has to be in order for OE5 to be installed). I try to run the address book execute and it tells me that it's not a valid address book. Go figure. The solution given by OE5 was for me to re-install OE5 because there was a configuration problem. I do that (by going into Control Panel >>add/remove programs>> windows setup). I remove it from there, but we all know how embedded OE5 is into Win98. When i removed it, i restarted my computer (even though it didn't prompt me to). After it re-booted i installed it again using the same method i used to uninstall it. I still got the same problem, and it didn't fully delete it self. I still had my old e-mail present in the program, like it had always just been sitting there. Anyway, if someone could help me with this problem i would be really greatful.

hmm, have you checked your win98se cd maybe it has the appropriate files for a complete install, or look around in the MS site to see if you can get the install files for it.

yeah it has all the correct files on the CD to install it. I know because when i installed it on my dad's computer it worked fine.
