I have a pc running on Win98SE and IE 6 (ver. 6.00.2800.1106). Recently i am
not able to use outlook's Mail and News. When i try to open Mail , a message
pops up saying "c:\progra~1\outloo~1\msoe.dll not installed/corrupted".

When i try to start News, i get the pop up "OE cannot be started because
msoeres.dll cannot be found/OE may not be installed correctly".

What have i done wrong and what should i do? TIA

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/directdb.htm

Errors in DIRECTDB.DLL or MSOE.DLL generally indicate corruption in the
message store.
Start by moving Folders.dbx to an empty Windows folder (with OE closed).
Note: the DBX files are hidden in Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3. You will lose
your folder hierarchy and the lists of newsgroups on the news servers, but
it might get you into OE.

If that doesn't do it then move all of the DBX files to the same folder as
Folders.dbx (again with OE closed). You should now get into OE. Try
importing the messages from
the folder you moved the DBX files to. If you can't, you can use this tool
to extract the messages:

DBXtract ($5):

Note: It can take a long time (days with really large folders).

The messages can then be dragged from the Windows folder back into a folder
in an open instance of OE.

Thanks for the help. I tried your suggestions but did not make any headway.
