For some reason my e-mail system has suddenly started to default to Outlook, rather than Outlook Express which is what I use. Can somebody please tell me what to do to get Outlook Express back as my default e-mail system. Thanks.

In Internet Explorer click Tools > Internet Options
then under the "Programs" tab you can choose your default email client.

It's only easy when you know how I suppose.
Incidentally, Outlook Express isn't thought of as the best (or safest) email prog in the world. Mozilla do a decent one called Thunderbird

At the very least I'd install Windows' SP2 and get the latest Windows Updates

Getting a bit off track now! LOL
