Outlook Express will no longer load and has a message that "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded.

I am a bible Translator located in the Philippines and have no one to help with this problem.

I had been deleteing files to get rid of excess unneeded junk and I did somthing wrong. I reinstalled windows 98 but this did not help.

Try re-installing Internet Explorer. Outlook Express is part of the installation and this may correct your DLL problem.

I re-installed the whole win89 and this did not help.

I can not find a seperate file of Explorer on the win98 cd or in my windows file to re-install just the Explorer by it's self.

Microsoft Knowledge base has information regarding MSOE. The solution in my case was remove and reinstall Outlook Express.

Try going to Netscape's website, download the Netscape web browser. Then un-install Internet Explorer and go to Microsoft's website and download IE.

SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to start Outlook Express, you may receive the following error message:

Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded.

CAUSE
This issue can occur if you uninstall Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and then reinstall Windows 98 to restore Internet Explorer 4.x. This process does not remove Outlook Express 5.

They have a regedit fix at this article.
