Lost Outlook Express ??

Hi, We seem to have lost Outlook Express from my son's PC. the icon is still there but when clicked it comes up with. " C:\Program Files\ Outlook Express\MSN.EXE not valid Win 32 application ".
We used search and it only found the shortcut on the desktop. Checking in " Programs" O/Express / properties it is only the short cut's size (356bytes) but checking in " Program Files " properties is is still 2.15Mg size. When you try to open it from there it gives you the same message.
He thinks the kids may have done something wrong.
Can I get a new download ? or can I transfer it from another PC via Flash Drive or CD
I am under the impression O/Ex is part of Internet Explorer, it always seems to be on the PC when you get it but can,t find any connection to it.
Also will W98SE handle O/Ex 6 version OK or is it better to get O/Ex 5 to put back on.
If they went to delete some thing from O/Ex is it possible to delete the whole thing, never know what kids are fiddling with.
Hope you can help. Regards Des.

 

Thanks Steve, Will try that tonight Cheers Des.

 

Hi, Steve. No luck, It just came up with the same message as before. Is O/Ex on th w98 disc ? , can I just reload W98se and get it back. ? Thanks Des.

 

Hi, Pete C, I tried you tip but there is no I/E in the Add/ remove programs list on the W98 PC. I can,t find it on my XP either, Anymore suggestions that we can try? Thanks Des.

 

Hi, Pete, I copyied O/E 5 from another PC with W98 & I/E5 and loaded it on. and it said it was there but it still told me that "MSIMN.EXE is not a valid Win 32 application ". I dont know where to look for that or what to check, so we downloaded I/E6 pack and I just received an E mail ( I had to leave it running 2 hrs to download ) & he said it is working Ok. I didn't know if I should have removed the rest of I/E5 before I did it.?
Well Thanks again to you and Steve for your help, it is great that you help us tamperer's all the time. Cheers Des.

 

Hi, Pete , Thanks 4 that, I will leave it alone , saw him today and it is ( I/E6) working the best it has. Thanks again Cheers Des.
