Outlook Express? It doesn't exist in Vista, which is where you are posting. In any case, it's a Windows component and can't be uninstalled....from XP, which is what I suppose you are talking about. You should be posting in that group.

I run Vista and it was installed on my computer when i bought it last year. I
was advised from a poster on this site to go to Tools, Control Panel. MS
Office, click change, click add and remove, make outlook unavailable by drop
down box and outlook will be uninstalled. That is when I got the Error 1406

Your header and the content of the post both state Outlook Express so no wonder I couldn't figure out what you were talkking about and you've posted in a .net general forum.

I suggest you repost with clearer header and details in the appropriate group. One that deals with Outlook.

You're in the wrong group for this issue but before we guide you to a
better group are you talking about Outlook or Outlook Express, they are
different applications.
