Try system file checker.
Go to Start | Run and type
SFC /scannow
See if that fixes the issues.
See here for message recovery techniques also: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 If you need to reinstall, you can backup the files first.

Hi, Thanks, I saw a tip somewhere telling how to set OE on startup. Don't
believe everything you read, eh?!!! I tried system restore, and restore
dates show on the calendar, but they do not work. If I am remembering back
correctly it was not the reg edit clean that messed things up, but rather the
duplicate files eraser. Everything else on the computer seems to work OK
except Java. I tried to uninstall, planning to re-install it, but it would
not uninstall.

OE should never be set to open on startup. That said, I believe you may have
*screwed the pooch* in the registry. Have you tried a System Restore? It
/may/ help.
