Programme access & defaults problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hi,
just installed XP on a new system I've built. Running fine, except a problem
message at startup -
"Either there is no default mail client, or the current mail client cannot
fulfill the messaging request. Please rub MS Outlook & set it as the default."
- except that Outlook Express is configured and working, along with IE
etc., all fine, appropriate programs selected in Internet options.
However, go to "Programme access & defaults", and "Microsoft Defaults" will
not stay selected, keeps reverting to "Custom / Other" mail & browser.
Hope someone can help (unable to use MS e-mail support as this is a
home-built "OEM" version. -

This may help you,

Send To Mail Recipient option does nothing
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sendtomail.htm

Run the following two command in the Run dialog box

MSIMN.EXE /REG
and
regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msoe.dll"
