A user has removed some programs from their Win95 ... they are not sure what ones. But, their outlook mail does not work. Outlook 98 is loaded on the individual's pc. When they open Outlook and the mail is suppose to send / receive they get the following message: "Internet Mail is not registered properly. Please re-install and try again."
Where do you reinstall internet mail from??
How do I do that? jk

Check "Mail and Fax" in the Control Panel, see if Internet E-mail is still showing as an information service. If not, you may just have to add it again. If it does show up and all the settings are correct, then you may have to reinstall Outlook 98again to refresh all files needed, or even reinstall Windows Messaging in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel, under the "Windows Setup" tab.

Good Luck.

Thanks -- I ended up solving this myself and your solution was right on.
The pc had IE 5.0 ... I upgraded it to 5.5 (my experience with reinstalls is not good, but upgrades usually do all the important files) and did the SP2.
When I used it the first time it asked if I wanted to create an internet mail account ... I did that and the mail worked. Thanks. I think refreshing the Win Mesaging would have done the same thing. jk

see the mskb Q191423.

(in IE type "mskb 191423"

OL98: (IMO) Error Message: "Internet Mail Not Registered" or Error Code 08x80040154 (Q191423)
CAUSE
This error message may occur when either of the following conditions are true:

The Outlmime.dll file, which is a critical file involved in the mail transfer process, is not registered correctly.

The wrong version of the Inetcomm.dll file is installed.

Your answer pointed me down a further investigation path (and it was true) ... but I was looking for the fix.

Since they don't know what is removed. Then, it is impossible to check all the possibilities.(Don't waste time on that!~)

Re-install Outlook 98 and IE.

If it does not solve the problem, then you are in trouble.

I was looking for which one of those two to reinstall -- I ended up solving this myself and your solution was in the right direction.
