I have a small but annoying problem with Outlook Express 5. Whenever I double click on the OE5 desktop icon to open the program up, I get a box which says:
“Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site file://cPROGRA~1INTERN~1Signupoutlook.html. The system cannot find the file specified.”
The retailers who sold us our computer downloaded a version of IE5 off a CD sponsored by some commercial organisation – we are no longer on speaking terms with them, so cannot get a copy of this CD. The dialogue box above has come up ever since I upgraded to a newer version of IE5, which I downloaded off the MS site. The dialogue box obviously has something to do with remnants from the IE5 version from the commercial CD.
Interestingly, when I downloaded the latest version of IE5.5, the box stopped appearing, but recently I followed the advice of Woody’s Office Watch and downgraded back to IE5.1 with SP1 (which, incidentally, I do find faster, more stable and less problematic than IE5.5). Since reverting to IE5.1, the box has come back. I want to keep IE5.1, but hate this box. Would be grateful for instructions (simple, please!) on how to get rid of it once and for all.
