Outlook Express Problem, had to resort to Mozilla Thunderb..

Hello Newsgroup,

I have recently rebuilt my PC, Windows XP SP2+, Media Player 11,
Internet Explorer 7, Office 2007 Professional Pro, .NET Framework 3.5.
Since installing the MS Office 2007 SP1, I am not able to use (let alone
start) MS Outlook Express.

First prompt that comes to screen titled Outlook Express,

"Outlook Express could not be started. The application was unable to
create the font cache object. Your computer may be out of memory", (NOT),
"or your disk full", (NOT). "Contact Microsoft support for further
assistance." (NOT) (0x800700E, 14007).

Clicking the OK button yields the second prompt,

"Outlook Express could not be started because MSO.DLL could not be
initialized. Outlook Express may not be installed correctly."

Could not find a website through Google, nor on MS site that resolved
this issue.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks Newsgroup.

Regards,

Errors in DIRECTDB.DLL or MSOE.DLL generally indicate corruption in the
message store. Start by moving Folders.dbx to an empty Windows folder. You
will lose your folder hierarchy and the lists of newsgroups on the news
servers, but it might get you into OE. Note: The DBX file are hidden files
in Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3.

If that doesn't do it then move all of the DBX files to the same folder as
Folders.dbx. You should now get into OE. Try importing the messages from the
folder you moved the DBX files to. If you can't, you can use one of these
tools to extract the messages:

DBXtract:

DBXpress: {much faster for large files}
http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx

Note: It can take a long time (days with really large folders).

The messages can then be dragged from the Windows folder back into a folder
in an open instance of OE.
