OE.."There was an error opening this message"

I can't open any emails (read or unread) in OE. I keep getting "There was an error opening this message. An error has occurred. "


(I received some updates Microsoft for Windows XP and Office 2003 yesterday.
After rebooting, for some reason OE was no longer my default email client. It was "replaced" by Outlook. I went into "C/Program Files...." and started up OE and reset it as the default.)

Can anyone help me ?

Thanx,
Steve

 

thanx. i looked at most (all?) of the links. none solved the problem. i am using windows xp which wasnt listed.
i tried deleting IE and OE (after saving my folders and adressbook) so i can reinstall.
How do i delete IE?
Unless i delete IE I cannot reinstall, as i get a message "newer version detected... "

 

any chance its an xp sp2 problem?

 

XP - IE is too much a part of the OS so you can't remove it.

From the start=>run line

Code:

sfc /scannow

is about the only repair option.
