I have been having some connection problems in IE 6 and a error message in sending mail in outlook express ("cannot open out Outbox...") My service provider feels it might be a corupt file in IE 6/outlook. Win xp will not allow removal of IE 6 so I can reinstall. I did a reinstall of xp (not a clean install)and the problem was not corrected. I tried reinstalling outlook express from microsoft website but a message comes up that I have a newer version on my system and cannot continue. Any ideas will help. I really do not want to do a clean install at this time.

You can try to can try doing a Repair of IE by Opening the Control Panel,double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon,when the pane open select IE in the list,then click the Remove button,a popup menu should give you options,choose to Repair IE

The other option is to use a utility called IEradicator that can be downloaded from the web that will remove IE.
