Have him check to male sure the OE executable is in the proper place first. Will be in Program Files - Outlook Express folder and looks like an envelope with 2 blue arrows swooping around it (if the icon is intact that is) and named msimn.exe.

If he can find it have him dble click that before we go reinstalling OE as a reinstall may lose any saved mail he has.

If it's not in that folder have him do a search with advanced options for msimn.exe. Set advanced search options to search hidden files & folders ans system folders too.
