    My Oulook Express icon has disappeared from my start list, the ALL PROGRAMS list and the desktop.

    The oly change I made was to install the Fax feature on my WinXP Pro system?

    What can I do to get my mail back please?

    Very strange - I can't see installing Fax having that effect - Fax Services from Add/Remove Windows components?

    If you go Start > Run > C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe > Enter does this start OE?

    You could try re-registering OE and it's library files as outlined in an Outlook Express basic repair kit ....

    Note that the command regsvr32 msjava.dll will probably fail as you most likely do not have msjava installed.

    Many Thanks Pete. msimn.exe was the key, and it'a back in the startup list.

    now BACKUP.

    Excellent service as usual.
