how to remove/re-install Outlook Express 6.0

I am having problems with Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0… when it checks for new email the window that pops up and shows progress stays open when finished. Also when ever I try to print a script error windows opens and it makes no difference whether I say continue running script or ignore nothing prints. By the way the printer works fine any other time. I am using XP media center edition. I wonder if uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook Express would help? I have tried the Microsoft instructions for removing and all that does is remove the shortcuts!!! I do not want to completely reinstall the operating system.
