Outlook express is not working in Excel or Word after office upgra

T

Thea in BC

I recently did an online Office upgrade and now cannot send Mail or
attachments of files from Excel or Word. I get the error message "the file
Outllook1.pst cannot be found." I also get the message "MAPI failure. Login
failure" I use Outlook Express as my mail program and had never had any
problems with this previously. The Outlook Express program is working
perfectly for regular email.
Thanks !

It sounds like the Office update has set your default mail program to
Outlook as opposed to OE.

To change this, go to Internet Explorer. Tools>Options>Programs tab and
reset the email setting from Outlook back to OE
