Outlook killed Outlook Express!

[John P]

I recently installed Outlook 2002. When I went to open
Outlook Express, my previous mail program, I got this:

OE could not be started. The application was unable to
open the OE message store. Your computer may be out of
memory or your disk is full. Contact Microspft Support
for further assistance. (0x80040154,1245).

I hit 'OK' then I get:
OE could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be
initialized. OE may not be installed properly.

Help! I don't want to lose my old emails and addresses,
which I had planned to import to Outlook 2002 - no can do
now! Any ideas??

Sounds like you may need to reinstall Outlook Express. If you search the
Microsoft Knowledge Base for Outlook Express and the keyword "reinstall",
you should find instructions for your operating system version. Start here:
