It sounds as if the message store is corrupt.
If you can get OE to open, then go to File | Identities and set up a new Identity, which will give you a new message store and registry hive.
If OE won't start, then try deleting folders.dbx (hidden) and then see if it will start. Then set up a new Identity after it does.

The following is the error messages that I receive when trying to open a
message that was downloaded in Outlook Express.
When I click a message to open it it says "Outlook Express is incorrectly
configured. Please reinstall"
then I click on OK and I get the message " There was an error opening the
message. An error has occured.
Additionally, when click on a link like CLICK HERE where click here has a
the properties of a mail to address then I get the following message.
"There was an error opening this message. An error has occurred."
then when I click on OK, I get this message.
"Outlook Express could not be started. It may not be installed correctly.
Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory.
Contact Microsoft Support for further assistance (0x8004104F)"
Also, when I click on Addresses in Outlook Express, I get the following
message.
"Unable to Open the Address Book. The address book may not be installed
properly."
Also, when I click on Create Mail. I get the following message.
" There was an error opening this message. An error has occurred."
MS Office 2003 seems to be currently installed on this computer. There is a
link for a 30 day free trial of Microsoft Office 2003 but I did not sign up
for it so it is not activated I do not think.
Outlook Express is currently installed. It is version 6.00.2900.2180
(xpsp_so2_rtm.040803-2158)
I hope all this information helps in determining my problem.
Thanks,

Post the complete (verbatim) error message, please. Also tell us if MS Office or Outlook is also installed.
