Yes, both MS Office and Outlook are installed. However, my friend is a consultant who wears several hats, depending on who is working for, so he needs the concept of Identities offered by Outlook Express for all his email. Sadly, Outlook does not have this "identity" concept implemented.

    First,to the best of my knowledge, Outlook Express 6 is working fine.  That being said, when I attempt to request remote assistance via email I see a warning that 
       Outlook Express is not set up
    and nothing at all happens when I click on 
       Set up Outlook Express ...
    When I attempt to request Remote Assistance via Windows Messenger, the following error message is displayed
      Sign in failed: automation server can't create object
    This is my "old" p3 550MHz PC, formerly Windows 98, but now upgraded to Windows XP Pro.  Probably I need to remove and reinstall Windows Messenger so that the friend who now owns this PC can sign on with his Messenger ID rather that mine.  But that's the subject of another post.
