Re: Cannot Make Outlook 2003 Default Email in Windows XP Pro SP2

Have you tried running a detect/repair of Office/Outlook 2003? (Go thru the
add/remove programs applet in the control panel. Choose detect/repair or
reinstall. Hopefully that is enough to restore the necessary registry
keys.)

Upon login, get a message that there is no default email program that
can handle the messaging requirements.

When I go to Internet Options in Control Panel, I cannot set the EMAIL
program default to Outlook 2003.

When I try to use "Set Program Access and Defaults", Outlook 2003
isn't offered as a selection.

Outlook 2003 Does allow the Option to be set to Make Outlook the
default but doesn't seem to have any effect.

I have removed the Windows Live EMail program (don't know who
installed all that Windows Live stuff anyway). Hasn't seemed to have
helped.

Guidance appreciated...
