OT: Can't find Outlook Express

Tom Gardner · 2007-12-06T21:54:43+00:00

I setup a new box for my sister using a cool XPP unintended install that I found in a torrent. An absolute work of art by the author. I do have a legit license for it. The install loads a nice set of software and the end user is ready to go. However, it loads Firefox mail client instead of Outlook Express. I upgraded Internet explorer to v7 but still no OE. I thought they were integrated. You can't just download OE from MS. Sister doesn't like Firefox because it only forwards e-mail as an attachment and her day consists of forwarding jokes and recipes when she's not trying to make my life miserable.(we work together) Being that I would do ANYTHING to make her happy, I need to get OE on this box, hopefully without formatting the drive and starting over with a different OS version. Any ideas? I've Googled the shit out of it and called every guru I know to no avail. Could Firefox ban OE? I haven't uninstalled it yet.

It might be easier to mail a disk. Yes, try "unattended xp"

Looks like a newer version and from a different tracker.

Shall we trade for a month? Pat's a great cook but subject to non-logical thinking and decision making. (note how delicately and kindly I stated that!) I'll tell her to pack her bags!
