[CGUYS] Outlook Express Disappears
Hello. I need your help. Yesterday my computer rebooted itself unexpectedly. And when it was all ready to go again, there was no Outlook Express. Moreover, I couldn't find it in the Program Files or by going to add or remove programs. So I did a system restore to the previous day. There it was as expected. Then last night it rebooted itself again, and same thing. I have now done another system restore to the same restore point as before and again, all is well. What I want to do is find out where the OE.exe (or whatever it's called) is located so I can find it manually next time this happens. I've tried adding a new icon to the desktop but when I go to Outlook Express can't find oe.exe -- the closest I've come is wab.exe. Will that do it? Beyond that, what can be happening to OE during this mysterious reboot? As always, thanks so much in advance for all your help!

I don't know what's happening on your system, but Outlook Express is msimn.exe. -Original Message- From: Computer Guys Discussion List [mailto:computerguy...@listserv.aol.com] On Behalf Of Gail.Miller Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 12:12 PM To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Subject: [CGUYS] Outlook Express Disappears What I want to do is find out where the OE.exe (or whatever it's called) is located so I can find it manually next time this happens.

Gail Miller If memory serves, OE is really a subset of Internet Explorer. That said, I'm willing to guess you have a piece of mail that may have corrupt or malicious html code in it. How is your IE working? I always hated html mail. Heck, before I retired, the Office disabled all rich text html formatting at the Exchange Server because of the potential for harm from malicious code delivered via email.

Thanks so much Chris and Mr. Mike for your quick responses. As to how my IE is working -- I've hated it (and it is mercilessly S L O W) since Windows automatically downloaded IE 8. So I think i'll start using a different browser. I have to wonder, though, why McAfee (which seems to download updates several times a day) wouldn't catch a malicious file either in the email or in while browsing with IE. I called the Apple Store in Bethesda today to ask a couple questions about Ipods and a recording greeted, announcing that there's never been a better time to get an IMac/ Then it referred me to a Website to make a date for a personal demonstration. Maybe they're right this time ...

FWIW I wouldn't use IE on a PC as my main browser. FIrefox is a better replacement.
