I have w2k, with Outlook Express 6. I use MSOutlook for email, however I tried doing this with express and it did work. Have you chacked for recent updates lately? From IE menu bar click on tools, Windows Updates. If you have never run this, there will be a lot of updates to download. I would suggest installing them all, but you can pick and choose, and install on those for express. If still having probs, let us know, and I will research it farther.
