Welcom Hatman .i to am from canada ,lets see if we can help you with this problem ,

please correct this statement, as outllook and microsoft oultlook are the same program ,do you mean outlook express for one of them !!
any whay to use microsoft outllok you need to have outlook express install on you computer .so if it not installed you can go to control panel/add and remove programs /add windows components ,in the list find outlook express ,if its check uncheck it click on then recheck the box and click ok to reinstall outlok expresssssss
