Outlook XP stuffed by Outlook 98

[MKL]

Hiya, gonna keep this short cause its real late and im real tired!

I installed OL98, it worked only for one user (that is 1 (i tried it on other admin accounts) Admin user under xp), it crashed ever time under every other user. By the time I decided it wasnt the best thing to have on my system, it half gutted the registery... Well not that serious but it did remove every trace of any *registered* email program. What i mean by that is that now every time i run OEXP it asks if i wanna make it deafult.

Anyway, i chased up why is being like that, turns out that XP cannot find a "system-wide default e-mail application" (got that from knowedge base Q297878).

Anyway, I pretty know what has to be done and I just need a little help.

If you have OEXP as your deafult email handler, please be nice as send all text that is in :

HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail and HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail conserning MS Outlook Express (not anything else)

(just in case it didnt click.. HKCU = HKEY_Current_User and HKLM = HKEY_Local_Machine)

Thanks a stack, cause im sure getting sick of this (me thinks its time to upgrade office).. Although XP has been pretty good imho

Now off to bed

Hi,

Nothing under HKCU, this is from HKLM. Hope it helps.
