Outlook Express in IE 8

Hi: I just did a clean install with the newest ver. of WinXP only to find out that outlook express is not included with IE 8. I tried to install OE 6 but it says can't do it because of a newer ver. of IE that's already installed. Is there a work around for this? All my email is backed up in an OE file folder and won't import into Outlook without the program being installed on the machine. Thanks.

What makes you think OE isn't installed? I mean.. have you tried to locate it in Program Files, or did you just assume it wasn't? It's a component of IE 6 and older, which is part of the OS. There is no upgrade with a newer version of IE.

Yes. In fact, I looked for not only the normal installed dir. under c:/windows/program files/outlook express, but I also searched for the program file itself. No matter - I've already done a clean install and am starting from scratch. Thanks.
