Hi tom.
I initially tried to restore things to a restore point created yesterday
afternoon, ---- that was what caused the problem.
I've just tried to restore to a point created on the 28th of
september, ----- and exactly the same thing has happened.
as for backing up the registry, this is something I've actually never done,
in fact I always assumed system restore would sort that type of thing out.
I personally never muck about with the registry at all.
anymore suggestions?
Beware the grue!
dark.

Hi Dark,
Before performing the system restore did you by chance make a restore
point to go back to just in case the system restore failed? If so you
should go in to system restore and select the latest restore point you
have and try and undo some of the changes made by the system restore.
As for fixing Outlook Express that is a fairly easy problem to resolve.
All you needed to do was go to the Microsoft web site and download the
Internet Explorer setup and reinstall Internet Explorer 7 or 8. After that
it should install Outlook Express.
P.S.
Ever thought about using Mozilla Thunderbird? It is much safer and more
secure than Outlook Express and works fairly well with Jaws 10 and Window
Eyes 7.11.

Hi.
I have a small problem, ---- well actually a rather large! problem.
During installation of Java I happened to notice msn explorer was stil on
my compter. I attempted to remove it in add/remove programs and by
mistake removed outlook express.
"no problem" I thought "time for a system restore"
However, that's when things went very! wrong.
When windows xp restarted, a random window appeared, then it restarted
with a default user profile.
After several restarts, another go at a system restore and lots of
swearing, I read the random window with ms narrator.
Said random window says:
" windows cannot load the user's profile but logued you on with the
default profile for the system. the system has attempted to load or
restore a file into the registry but the specified file is not in a
registry file format"
Needless to say, this is a baaaaaad! state of affiars, and what's worse,
outlook express is stil awol!
Luckily I A, have this laptop to communicate etc with, and B, have
backups of everything on my external harddrive.
Stil, the idea of starting everything from scratch on the default profile
is pretty hiddeus in terms of amount of work, ---- pluss I'm not sure
what I'd be unable to access from my old user profile.
Normally, I'd phone dolphin tech support with this sort of issue, but
they're not open at weakends, and I'd prefer this fixed Asap.
while I know this isn't a tech support list, I'd really! appreciate some
help from some of the cleverer people here so as to get this sorted out.
If people would prefer to take this off list, just E-mail me on
[email protected].
Any help much and distinctly appreciated.
Btw, as I said, I'm using windows xp. Luckily hal, ---- though not my
individual settings or installs of dolphin orphius, is accessible from
the default profile, so poking around windows will at least be possible.
sorry again for this, ---- but I am rather stuck here.
all the best,
Dark.
