ie5/ole 5.0 e-mail errow

[Gene C.]

I just tried to send a e-mail form inside one of the fourms by checking on the send mail icon. and I got this message on the screen."problem with shortcut"
cannot send mail. no mail program is setup to send mail using internet shortcuts. have checked out ie 5/ole 5"drive c:win 98 ", and can't see anything different than I had before. I can do it in ntws"drive d:" with no problems. and help on this matter.

Gene, check to see if Outlook Express is your default email program in Internet Options/Programs.

I tried that. all setting seem ok. I tried the repair in ie5 to. I can't figure out why I can use it in "d:ntws" and not in "c:win98" this one has got me. I even called my isp and they couldn't help me.

Gene,

Just a thought accured to me with your last post. You mention that it works in NTWS but not in Win98...By chance are you using the same directory for IE5/OE5 ? It might be that win98 has lost it's registery information for OE5 (I personally have found that when I run dual boot systems to have full installs (nothing shared) OS wise) meaning that on C: I would have Win98 AND any Microsoft software that I use and then on D: I would have NT AND any microsoft software that I plan on using with NT. I have never run into a problem doing this /forum/biggrin.gif

You might try reinstalling OE5 while running Win98 on the C:

I loaded 98 c: first and all programs, than d:ntws and all of it's programs. they are on a 13.1 gig partition drive. it dose this on every site I try it from. I can e-mail from inside outlook with no problems.

right on Mntsnow. you were right. I uninstalled outlook in 98 and than when into ntws and it wouldn't work. so I installed to ntws and than installed to 98 and they both work now just fine. I guess ntws over took 98. thanks for the help. and in return give yourself a big old cookie.lol and if it means anything. you were the only one who came close to the problem and fixed it. also I put in a plug for you over at hostclub where I belong to. thanks again. gene
